Sean Lock

Sean Lock (22 April 1963 - 16 August 2021) was a contestant and a Team Captain in most episodes of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. He was a stand-up comedian and until December 2015, one of the regular team captains on 8 Out of 10 Cats.

Upon his death, Channel 4 hastily cleared their schedule for the following evening (19 August 2021), showing one of Lock's stand-up shows followed by an edited repeat of Episode Cats118 as a way of paying tribute to him. His final episode was a posthumous appearance which aired on 11 February 2022.
