 I did wonder if he'd been unwell based on how he looked

He had some time away from Cats a bit back due to ill health, then returned with a really gravelly voice.  I suspected at that time that it might have been throat cancer, but don't know if that's true.

I completely agree that 15 Storeys High is one of the best comedies ever, and so criminally underrated.  I'm off to get trollied and find a plough to nick In honour of Sean.

OI!!!!!!!

My wife said the same. He’d obviously lost some weight and his voice had changed so it looked like he’d had some serious issues. Still a shock to hear he’s gone, very funny guy. His mascots on Cats does Countdown were always brilliant. 

RIP.

I only just found out when I clicked on youtube clips of 8 out 10 does Countdown.
Not only was he terrifically funny, he also came across as someone who would live up to your expectations if you were to meet him. A genuine, decent sort of bloke who didn't give himself airs & graces.
Jeremy Hardy, now Sean Lock, comedy's lost a wealth of talent.

Absolutely gutted. 

One of my favourites ever, and great on the radio too. 

This clip sums him up for me. Brilliant, rambling monologues that just get more and more ridiculous... and the one line quip at the end is just the funniest thing I've ever heard on television! 

what does he say to Rachel Riley?

"That's a challenging wank." Genius!

Just wanted to mention they've put Sean Lock's sitcom 15 Storeys High on the BBC iPlayer. Well worth a watch.
