Sean Lock RIP

[gmarkj]

Sean Lock has passed away at the age of 58 due to cancer.

BBC News report: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58254859 

Sounds like he kept the diagnosis pretty quite as most people (myself included) didn't know he was ill.

Really enjoyed him on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. Really funny, and even more so when he was winding up Jon Richardson.

This clip (beware language) is particularly funny:

The game was so popular they ran it again:

Yes RIP, he was genuinely funny.

Shocked to hear this. One genuinely funny man. 58 is no age at all.

R.I.P. Sean, you will be missed. ❤️

If you watch the last season of Cats Does Countdown you could tell he'd lost weight, but had no idea this was afoot. Grim times.

Bit late I know but Ch4 are currently doing a tribute to Sean Lock and it's on now. A Stand up session followed by Cats do Countdown. If you miss it, I expect it can be found on Catch Up.

Thanks for the heads up. Will try and find it on catch up as watching the Lesley Sharp series "Before We Die"...
