Sean Lock - RIP

[Elpenor]

i wish there was a different format where funny people could riff off each other other than panel shows, but I much prefer that spontaneous comedy to pre-scripted (panel shows have lots of prescripted bits in them too of course)

I’ve stopped watching them, at least 10 years ago even the venerable HGINF went stale eventually. The Harry Enfield panel show sketch sends them up for the lazy concept that they are.

Cruel, but surprisingly cutting edge for Enfield.

I know he’s not the most popular of people on here but he’s got a keen eye for parodying this sort of thing - his “Story of the Twos” is worth a look - it will probably be on Dailymotion.

[ruffneck23]

Here’s his 15 Minutes of Misery, radio forerunner to 15 Storeys High.

I used to really enjoy his show TV Heaven Telly Hell

The back and forth between them on the Lee Mack episode is very funny.

And this episode where you get to see one of Sean's testicles at the end of the show

Kathy Burke calls for Sean Lock sitcom 15 Storeys High to be put on BBC iPlayer
I bought 15 storeys a few years back for a fiver . Greedy feckers on eBay are selling now for £80.
I do hope they put it on I player.

I am AMAZED that it isn't (I went looking for it) On the other hand, I still have a sealed copy of the DVD that I bought many moons ago which I was gonna watch, but, erm...

 

[Elpenor]

Seems to be some episodes on YT / Dailymotion

No revenue from that for Sean's family though, and they're filmed-over-the-shoulder quality. It would be nice if they were available on iPlayer.

 

[Saul Goodman]

I have seasons 1 and 2 online somewhere if anybody wants to 'borrow' them.

 

[hitmouse]

Yeah, I've gone back and started rewatching 15 Stories from the stuff I can find online, good stuff but the picture quality's not great.

 

[spitfire]

Well there you go.

 

[8ball]

Excellent - used to watch now and then when my old flatmate had it on but was never usually in.

 

[Orang Utan]

Well there you go.

ace, Friday evening is going to be a delight. might have to get drunk first and steal a plough to watch it with

didn’t know he co-wrote Andrew Kotting’s arty film about rural poverty, This Filthy Earth!

i like the look of this

 

[hitmouse]

Still really enjoying my rewatch of 15 Storeys, just got up to the episode where he gets in a war with the kids from the local pool who put up posters saying he's found a cure for baldness, and Errol cleans up a sticky patch in the hallway but the caretaker catches him and makes him pour syrup over it.

 

[hitmouse]

Just got up to the episode where he gets wound up and tears his own ticket up at the airport and then spends the rest of the episode trying to make a good story out of it, proper great bit of television that.

 

[stavros]

I saw this episode of Cats/Countdown last night:

 

[Brainaddict]

Thought I'd try a bit of his standup on youtube and there was a bit about how much he liked smoking, how he didn't want to stop, and joking that it wasn't cheaper to stop because it just means you'll live longer. Eek. He made his choice I guess but it makes for uncomfortable viewing knowing he died of lung cancer.

Bumped the thread, just because the man was a genius and still makes me cry with laughter

Just watching the final 15 Storeys High. Listened to the radio series too recently - all brilliant
