Errol. Errol
Truly marvellous show.
From the very first scene (where Errol is trying to force himself onto the sofa) I knew it was going to be something special. I only ever knew Sean for his panel show stuff & was fortunate enough to see his standup once, but had no idea he'd written a TV show. So talented and badly missed.
Massively underrated show!
Of course, the BBC have kindly deleted it from their catalogue.
I don't think they do this just for fun, they probably lost the rights to some aspect of it.
This is the problem with copyright and especially corporations owning it. If they can’t make it reasonably available, it should resort to the public domain.
Sean, are you a risktaker by nature?
Oh yes. I once read a pop-up picture story book about giraffes.
Just binged it after seeing this post last week. Great recommendation! I love Sean Lock so much but I had only been exposed to him via panel shows. And Benedict Wong is the perfect complement to his style of humor in the show. Much obliged.
You're welcome! And yes for those of us who've only seen his panel work, this show is such a nice thing to stumble upon. I'm wondering now how much of the show was drawn upon his own life experiences.
The BBC did put it back on iPlayer after he died (it must have expired now), and it's available on DVD. Please buy it, don't pirate it.

I don't have a dvd player and it's not like he's going to be losing any money, plus I pay a licence fee, so it's technically part mine anyway.
Also, asking people not to pirate then posting an Amazon link is pretty hilarious. His family won't see a penny anyway, why feed Bezos?
