    Ah Man

    This is a tough one. Sean Lock was a really funny guy - a genuine and unique wit. Stood head and shoulders above the general dross on those panels shows. So sad.

    I remember a few years ago watching 8OOTC and thinking that he had gotten very skinny and his hair looked brittle.

    Easily one of the funniest comedians out of Britain. RIP

    One of the funniest sharpest comedians out there. I was always glad to see Sean on something cause you knew you'd get some good laughs regardless of who else was there. Loved his standup as well.

    RIP Sean.

    Ah lads only heard. he was the best thing about that show. Heard him on our local radio station WLRfm a few years back doing a phone interview. Came across very well too when not trying to be funny. Rip Sean.

    I found him hit and miss, but when he did hit, they were crackers. RIP.

    Both himself and Jon Richardson carried a lot of 8ootc.


    Very surprised to hear of his passing.

    While a lot of those comedy panel shows ran their course, to the extent I would hardly watch them any more and got increasingly annoyed at some of the regulars, Sean Lock was the exception. A naturally funny man. RIP

    I basically got to know Sean Lock, like a lot of people, from 8 Out of 10 Cats does Countdown. I think I did see a bit of his stand-up as well. He was an effortlessly funny man. This is disparately sad. RIP.

    Sean Lock beat the cancer many years ago, but it came back with a vengeance. I think he knew well over a year ago and instead of hiding away, he went out on a limb and became funnier.


    Always one for the "would love to have a pint with" list. Genuinely funny, genuinely decent.

    Very sad to hear about Sean Lock, been used to constantly seeing him on TV for the last 16 years. A very quick-witted and funny individual, he'll be greatly missed.

    Rest In Peace Sean

    I actually cannot believe that this guy is dead. This is desperately sad news.

    I had watched Sean Lock on a few episodes of 8 out of 10 does Countdown over the years. I had also watched him Jimmy Carr hosted one of the episodes of Cats does Deal or No Deal for Stand Up to Cancer a few years ago. He was an extremely funny guy who had me in stitches whenever he mentioned one of his jokes on the show.

    RIP Sean. 😔

    painfully funny is really accurate. Claudia Winkleman was on his team once and she had to beg him to stop because she was laughing so much.

    Genuinely shocked about Sean Locks death, when he was on form he was brilliantly funny.

    Theres one line from Cats Does Countdown that I’ve always remembered and makes me laugh every time. Jimmy asks Sean if there was one thing he’s like to change about himself. Sean pauses and the completely deadpan says ‘I think I’d like to be a less giving lover’ (or words to that affect). Brilliant.

    He was always brilliant on all his panel shows, also Sean Lock's Sitcom '15 Storeys High' is a gem, it went under the radar but it is painfully funny in places.

    RIP Sean, I thought he would be making us laugh for many more years. it really has not sunk in.

    Apparently he was terminal. Had checked into a hospice, so he knew the time was coming. I know Lee Mack said they were preparing for the day, but that it was still a shock. I was wondering what he meant, but others saying he had entered a hospice sort of confirms the end was very near.


    Very sad.

    I used to like Give Us A Clue. If I remember correctly, it shared a theme tune with Grange Hill, which was odd. Of course, the master of the genre was undoubtedly Lionel Blair... and who will ever forget him, exhausted and on his knees, finishing off An Officer And A Gentleman in under two minutes?
