The Sofa
Prismark1030 August 2021
15 Storeys High got a repeat after the death of its star and writer, Sean Lock.

The first episode introduces misanthropic Vince (Sean Lock) who does not like to be touched.

Vince has a new flatmate Errol (Benedict Wong) who comes from a large family.

Vince feels uncomfortable having Errol sit on the sofa and watch television with him. However he can see that Errol could work wonders for Vince's Tesco Clubcard points. So he can stay as long as Errol pools the Clubcard points.

Errol also comes useful when Vince injures his ankle after slipping on a prosthetic arm in his job at the local swimming pool.

The episode features a slow chase scene as Vince goes after the woman who has bought his two seat sofa. It has its wallet.

A slightly surreal sitcom. It has various flashbacks to a younger Vince. Some of the flashback scenes might not make sense. I was wondering just where the Jim'll Fix It scenes were going. It could had been lot worse for young Vince than the Wombles jumping on you!

The episode also highlights Lock's inexperience as an actor. There is a contrast between him and Wong as well as other actors performance wise.
