I love how Harriet seems to have actually broken Sean's walls down. It's not that he simply broke character, he was awkward and didn't quite know what to do with all her sweetness. They were great together 😊
That’s Rosie Jones. She’s an awesome comedian, writer, and actress. Also a brilliant disability advocate. She’s written for WILTY, Cats does Countdown, Sex Education, bloody loads of stuff. She has ataxic CP. Also a queer icon. Can you sense how much I love Rosie?
Harriet stole the show for me and I absolutely adore Sean and his comedy. But Harriet went balls out the gifts but could have gone a very different way!! 😂
Harriet was amazing, really found something new to do in the format and it was hilarious. The best comedians do create the vibes for others to contribute to as well and she did make that whole bit work so Sean and Jimmy could jump in. Jimmy's comments from the sidelines were so on point.
Not being English, the fact that he was being groomed as a joke didn't occur to my mind. It was the just the endless set of gifts that made it hilarious for me lol. I guess the joke was the reversal of expectations from Harriet.
"I got him gifts to make it better, so you'll still want to be my friend" -Me trying to patch up my social life after not talking to my friends for 2 weeks
Mate were kinda in unprecedented times, if you gotta dip for a few weeks to not go insane then that's what you gotta do. Take care of yourself first, if they're real friends they'll understand.
2 weeks? I have friends I have not spoken to in years or seen in decades. But when we do chat we are still all good. If people require you to patch up after 2 weeks then they have serious mental issues.
Listening to Aisling, the translation is technically correct. It involved someone stealing another person’s groceries when they left the Spar and the Guards arrived and something about a woman and a pint of the cordial MiWadi and she was okay…
It translates; A woman stole groceries from a man because she was drunk on vodka & miwadi, she was so fucked up she hit him with a toilet plunger across the head, the police eventually found the woman shaking like an abused horse, hiding in the cupboard (not a totally accurate translation), she offered the police sex or a snog if they let her go.... she was fine in the end.
Aw. I bet Sean kept all those gifts. Harriet and Sean had this running gag where she called him “dad” and he mentioned that she was more considerate and encouraging than his actual children. I always thought it was a gag based on truth. They had a great friendship. She talks about him during his memorial video and it’s lovely. (Bring some tissues if you watch that video. Greg Davies crying really just breaks the heart)
Rachel and Joe did the Greece trip for the series "24 Hours to Go Broke" - It is hilarious. Had to frivolously spend 10,000 Euros in 24 hours. The episode is somewhere on here in two parts.
Sean Lock was one of the funniest people I've ever seen on TV. He anchored this show. Everyone else was playing checkers, this man was playing chess. If you want to see true brilliance, look for "Carrot in a Box" from 8ootc Christmas special with him and Jon.
I have watched so many episodes on RU-vid but the carrot in a box was the one that made me shout with laughter and keep laughing for a long time afterwards…
I mean, how do you replace Sean? Who has that same kind of tired sarcastic dad energy, honed to a razor's edge, that perfectly balances people like Jon, Roisin, Jimmy? The show's tone is going to change; I doubt we'll see the likes of him again for a long time.
Someone mentioned it elsewhere and I think it might work - Joe Wilkinson. He’s a regular on the show. He’s been team captain as well. It’ll be a transition, as Sean was one of a kind and it’ll be different but there’s a familiarity, so there’s a possibility it could work.
They've replaced Sean & Jon for years now. Sean had to step down for health reason (he's been substituted many times when he was a regular Captain). Dunno with Jon. The format doesn't really need regular captain anyway. They invited tons of comedians.
@@budle89 One of the best things about Cats Does Countdown is that no matter the mix, the banter is always excellent. Don't know how I'd feel about Joe being a team captain as the other guy further up said, he's a bit too gloomy for my liking (obvious I know that's his character but I just don't find it funny).
@@doctorspockable I don't find him funny either. But others find him funny and his jokes are harmless to anyone. So it's fine with me. Subjectivity on comedy. Judging from panel shows I've watched and listened, all they need are something controversial and get the banter going and those who got hired will do their job (making the audiences laugh) just fine. Usually the ones hired as regulars or guests can do it fine. I've been listening to many BBC radio comedy programs and British comedy podcasts. Even non comedians are great at banters. Although I find in the recent times, the western media have been trying to fill diversity quota, so sometimes you find comedians who haven't quite matured in their style and comfortable with banter showing up just because they're not white nor men (happened less in BBC comedy though). That'll ruin the experience for me. But there will be other comedians there to fill my taste on what's funny anyway. So, I can't really complain.
Johnny vegas having a “quick chat” in the toilets with saras boyfriend is deffo code for them doing coke 😂 when he goes “isnt he a deep man” aswell 😂chatting ur head off after a line
Oh Harriet you lovely, and wonderful person. I miss Sean so much, and seeing her like this makes me feel even more sad. I'm happy we could all see this though.
@@fretlessman71 i wish i knew.. think i saw the episode once, and think ive seen her somewhere else, but cant remember where from, im not brittish either, so its all foreign to me too😂
Tragically I think he probably did. He successfully fought off Cancer once but his doctors may well have told him that there was a possiibility it would return
@@ticketyboo2456not sure how it's gay, but find me any performer without a massive ego! They're performing because they think theyre worth seeing... Literally an ego!
I don't have any sexual thoughts as I'm writing this, but it's so funny that Susie somehow keeps forgetting her underwear and has to borrow them from Rachel 😂😂
