The Dead Thread

[wandyr79]

Didnt the whole series start off as an idea for a short Comic Relief spot? It obviously worked, so C4 made it from there on in.

I remember they did one episode of Deal or No Deal and then one of countdown, I assume they were going to do a few more different ones but realised straight away that they stumbled upon a perfect recipe for comedy.

Was sat there last night, watching about an hour of clips from 8 out of 10 cats does countdown to his stand up.

It was mentioned somewhere that sometimes a celebrity death just gets you, this one has for me. Just such a funny guy and obviously so likeable by his colleagues and peers.

Sad news, loved his style of comedy. I was going through a tough time mentally two years and discovered his clips of 8 out of 10 cats and appearances on other panel shows. Really made me laugh during a rough time in my life.

I am the same, his and the connection with all the regular comedians on there is just electric and it is definitely a style of comedy that certainly helps you come out of the real world, even for just a moment, and just laugh.

Glad to here you got such pleasure from the program during a trying period. Hope you're in a better place these days mate.

Bloody hell didn’t know he was even il, sad day great comic.

I had a feeling cause of recent appearances on Countdown that I had seen he sounded quite ill.

Yeah thought it was very obvious there at one point, looked very poorl on Cats does Countdown, and his voice was clearly struggling....Jimmy Carr was noticeably laughing at his jokes more (to the point of tears)...felt like something was up, and they all knew

Very funny man, RIP.

Like many have said, Sean Lock's passing has hit me like a kick in the gut.

Sometimes, laughter is the only thing that chases away the demons.

''Interesting fact: a shark will only attack you if you're wet.''

RIP Sean.
