So sad this.
As already said 8/10 won't be the same and agree, this is one of his many classics 🤣
“Well that’s a challenging ****” is the quote of the century.
RIP funny man.
That was the clip
The very one that was posted about 5 hours ago? 🙄
Very sad 🙁 Came here just to post Nooooooooooo! Whhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyy! Noooooooooooooo! AAAAhhhhhhhhhh!
They have been filming cats does countdown recently, I don’t know if he was in any of them
For some reason this really hit me as I heard it over the radio while driving today.
Not usually affected by "celeb passings" too. I honestly though I'd mis-heard it at first!
The channel never got turned over when Sean was on because I knew that I'd be crying with laughter in the next few minutes 🙂
I feel fortunate to have met Sean whilst running a venue bar at the Edinburgh Festival circa 2007. Whilst it was a brief encounter at 3am when we were both a few pints deep, he came across as a genuinely lovely chap who was happy to talk bollocks, and so effortlessly funny!. Having met quite a few well regarded comics during that time, he was by far the nicest. RIP Locky
Great tribute of some of his best lines from C4 :
I was sat late last night watching an episode of cats and he made an A-Z cocktail of drinks and during the actual show (not much countdown lots of cats) he dropped a line on the bloke from nobbers from Chelsea or whatever it's called about posh people giving their kids stupid names, laughed out loud and woke the dog. Top comedian, deft, dry and very self aware. A great shame he's left us.
Very sad news.
RIP Sean 🙁
Totally gutting. He was a brilliant comedian, and from the comments of those who knew him, clearly a great person.
I haven't watched fifteen storeys, but I loved his character in Ideal, even though he was only in it for three episodes.
Tears of laughter, now tears. Paul Ritter and Sean Lock in the same year, absolutely gutted.
Carrot in a box, rectum of the year and his comment on Rachel's ski gear are just a few bits of comedy genius I'll never forget. RIP.
His stand up on ch4 now, you’re laughing, but also sad 😂😔
I’m sure he’d appreciate that
Watching on record now. His Mumsnet sketch - genius.
Just read that. Doesn't surprise me that he came up with - and was good mates with - Bill Bailey. Both originals, both masters of the absurd, both very, very funny and both come across as thoroughly likeable individuals.
Such a shame, but what a man, what a comedian and what an incredible legacy of funny, yet cutting, material.
Hopefully people will still be streaming his stuff in 30 years time in the same way that we might stream old footage of Hendrix
From that link, Fifteen Storeys High is on iPlayer now.
I bought the DVD box set when I heard. Fantastically funny show. And person.
