Eight Out Of Ten Cats Does Countdown is a British television show that is a combination of comedy and game show. The show is hosted by comedian Jimmy Carr and features Sean Lock and Jon Richardson as team captains. Each episode features them joined by two celebrity guests, usually comedians.

In Season 17, Episode 3, the episode is titled "Episode 2". This episode starts with two rounds of the classic Countdown game show, where contestants have to create the longest word possible from a mix of letters. As always, the legendary dictionary corner is manned by Susie Dent and mathematician Rachel Riley.

The two teams include Sean Lock with guests Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Spencer Jones, and Jon Richardson with guests Geoff Norcott and Sara Pascoe.

The first Countdown round sees the contestants battle it out to see who can create the longest word possible from the letters given by Rachel. The letters included some particularly tricky options such as 'knurl' and 'einstein', leading to some amusing attempts at word creation.

After a brief interval, the show moves into the Numbers Round, where the teams have to calculate a target number using a variety of numbers as provided by Rachel. This round is especially challenging, as the team has to think outside the box and come up with a creative solution to reach the target.

The episode includes the inclusion of the "What's in the Box?" round, where a box is presented containing an unusual item. The team members' objective is to guess what the item is and identify its purpose. As usual, the item presented is comical and random, leading to some entertaining guesses from the comedians.

The second letters round leads to some head-scratching, as both teams struggle to come up with words using the letters provided by Rachel. As with all rounds on this show, the pressure of the Countdown countdown timer can make things tense and amusing all at once.

The final round sees the contestants race to solve the elusive Conundrum, which is always a highly anticipated moment of the show. Which team will emerge victorious and go home with the coveted Countdown teapot?

Overall, 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown is a fun and entertaining show, combining elements of comedy and game shows.
