The Birth of Cats Countdown

If you’ve read this post (re the 2012 C4 30^th Anniversary celebrations) then you’ll know that the “pilot” for the first ever 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown was only ever intended to be a one off.

That was January 2012 and a Rematch was broadcast that August…and the rest is history (see the show’s series details here).

How many of you have seen these embryonic shows?

Turns out they are both in the Archive.org site!

• Pilot / Mash-up night – January 2012 (24 minutes) – here
• Rematch – August 2012 (46 minutes) – here
