Room 101 Sean Lock 

Nooooooooooooooooo. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? Nooooooooooooooooo. Arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I can't write tears

I feel just as Sai Vasava beautifully expressed here.

Yeah I know what ya saying its hit me hard as I'm the same age as Sean way too young to die!!!!!

I just got to that part, and felt the same as you. :(

Probably from concrete dust. Great comedian.

It was lung cancer he passed away from though.

@@TequilaToothpick Yup, cancer can relapse and does spread.

What the hell does one have to do with the other?

That's good. I think he would have liked it

Hah, that actually made me smile. I don't believe in heaven, but I hope there's computers.

I was going to say this, but I KNEW someone else was bound to have the same thought. Sure enough, 4th comment down.

Nothing really.

I didn’t realise it was that dangerous

It may have contributed but he died of lung cancer and was a lifelong heavy smoker/heavy drinker. That's probably the main culprit unfortunately

I'm sure you've used up 12 boxes of Kleenex for, er, Men. Mourning, my fucking arse!

@@Ndlanding are men mourning your a**e? Why? Prolapse? ;-)

@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 Good mourning to you too, sir!

This is the 2nd iteration, it was previously Nick Hancock who started it in 1994. Paul Merton took over in 1999

Yeah Nick Hancock I remember that they pull some great stuff like Cockney Land unbelievable good 👍👏

I've never seen this before, living abroad as I do. Pretty dull, except for the dead guy who was quite good back then.

Merton's version was by far the best. Have a look at the episode with Julian Clary as a guest. Brilliant!

Yeah. Such a genuine bloke.

@@chesterwunpen2196 He was being sarcastic.

Yes, I caught that moment too... Sean was so cool. RIP💙

AAAAARGH

Actually he passed away from lung cancer

@@DhairyaKhale It may have metastasized. Skin cancer can be brutal :-( I get that smoking is also a likely culprit, but both my first boyfriend's dad and one of my best mates had cancer in the lungs - the former from skin cancer, the latter from breast. Neither smoked :-/

I'm one of them, can you please care to explain the joke

@@hayn98 'fried in ancient Greece' is fried in that country a long time ago. ' Fried in ancient grease' is fried in some very old oil and probably doesn't taste that good

I sure heard it. Maybe you think everyone is dumb, but not yourself.

@@Ndlanding the audience in the studio did not laugh at the joke much. That is what my comment was referring to. I am sorry that you did not understand my comment.

@@stuearth5076 your comment was quiet clear. No worries.

You may have missed his performance on "Carrot in a Box". Check it out, if you have - you won't regret it.

@@arthurpewtey That wasn't on Countdown.

As you are American, I guarantee you would like him if he was covered in cheese

Paul Merton calls him out for exactly the same thing in the video (but to be honest, Sean doesn't say it is simply because they are Americans, he has plenty of examples).

@@richardathome65 to be fair, Jeremy always gives examples as well.

Sean gives good reasons - it is indeed a charmless place!

Nah it was Dillinger Escape Plan. They did that at Reading festival

kaye mclaren - I just finished reading his Wiki - nothing was handed to him on a silver platter.

Brisbane Qld

What's it like on the inside?

Its all for comedians sake, good heaven

Yes as stated in the info, the video it blocked just in the UK due to copyright restrictions

@@TOPOFTHEBOBS thanks for the reply ( & the upload anyway) sorry I should’ve read it first - good job I’ve got a free ProtonMail vpn 🙂

As I recall, you can still be hanged for sheep-stealing.

You really can't. There are no longer any capital offenses on the statute books, not even the old chestnut about arson in the royal dockyards.

@@nickwyatt9498 Not even for stealing chestnuts from a sailor's arse? Damn!

I can't remember if it was the UK or Australia but you could demand a bale of hay for your horse. I was working in London (near Aldridge) in the early 1990s and found that the barber's had to close on Wednesday afternoons.

He died from lung cancer, not skin cancer

It was smoking that got him. He had throat cancer earlier (that's why he had that really hoarse voice recently)

Doubt it, he did a LOT of drugs for years after Dexys broke up.

and much more rubbish. I prefer when it's just the one person compared to 3

Totally agree. Old one-on-one format was both more enjoyable and more in-depth.

@@nickwyatt9498 It's great when it's a guest you find funny or interesting. The downside is, when it's someone you don't like, then why watch the show at all? The advantage to the panel format, there's usually someone on there for everybody.

​@@asterix7842 I get what you're saying, but if there's one surefire recipe for a lame show, it is the idea that "it's gotta have something for everybody". No it doesn't. Full Metal Jacket doesn't have a song-and-dance Disney scene in the middle of the killing fields, because it's gotta have something for everyone. Monty Python's Holy Grail doesn't include a sentimental breakup scene starring Renee Zellweger just because it's gotta have something for everyone. Schindler's list doesn't have a funny Benny Hill scene with Benny chasing the naked ladies in the showers because it had to have something for everyone. If there's an audience for a show or a film or a piece of art, you make the thing for them, not for the 99% idiots with no taste who don't get it in the first place. Let those guys watch another episode of Love Island or something, and don't try to pander to them by watering down what makes your show uniquely great for your own audience.

paul merton, comedian, known for Have I Got News For You as a panellist and the Uk version of improv show whose line is it anyway

Clever man. Brilliant on radio show 'Just a Minute'. Quite grumpy in recent programmes of hignfy.

I think he passed away from lung cancer in the end sadly

Yeah I don't buy that it was smoking. The concrete nearly killed him twice and did kill him once.

@@sidhackney8831 yes! And lately- i don’t know if its the same in the UK but i imagine it is, but in australia there’s been soaring reports of younger and younger people involved in.. right now the practice i think of stone masonry has been found to have longlasting health effects with breathing. And the practice has been done without much ppe even in the last 5 years and we have 20-25 year olds with disabilities or terminal illnesses from it. So we are onto something for sure, and its only the tip of a big iceberg, sean’s family should sue

That was the point mate, Comedic irony

Probably smoking related.

He put the skin cancer down to sun exposure

That's not the same mate.

Ummm. I might be wrong but I think I read he died of lung cancer from smoking & not skin cancer... Still sad, I truly enjoyed his wit and he's one of the few Brits I will truly miss!

Not too surprising really. I mean, how long can you look at some water falling down before you go "yeah, OK, I've seen it now. Now what?"

I went there with a mate from Toronto, I told him we had a place just like it. Blackpool.

Unfortunately it was probably from smoking for 30-40 years.

Could be The Dilinger Escape Plan

Interesting. Who would think that shitting on a towel wasn't an indication of quality entertainment?

GG died a long time ago - and I don't think he got to any big festivals? I don't think he'd use a towel. Just randomly fling :-/

I'm aware of his career and death, what I was curious about was whether or not Mr. Locke would have performed in the same place. He was working the circuit before GG's death, and if not then who was biting GG's performance (and if so, why the towel). Costes came to mind since he's French and would have been somewhat more available.

@@NeilKight Oh yeah no this sounds about right. Did GG go to the UK, though? Genuine question.
