the formation of the crossover began as a series of specials, the first of which was conceived on 2 january 2012, when channel 4 orchestrated a special "mash-up night", merging two shows to form a special edition of the pair, as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations. amongst the programmes that were chosen to be merged for the evening of specials, production teams on "countdown" and "8 out of 10 cats" agreed to merge the two formats of their respective programmes together - the crossover between the two formats meant that "countdown"s arrangement of games would be interspersed with "8 out of 10 cats"-style banter. as part of the merger, both rachel riley and susie dent assumed their roles from the programme, while jimmy carr took on the mantle of host, with both sean lock and jon richardson competing as contestants, and joe wilkinson joining dent during the crossover's recording.
