No doubt UK FSMers (especially Bill Carson) have been familiar with this for 50+ years, but Frankie Howerd is not well known in U.S.A. markets and many may not have seen this series.


I clearly recall seeing him many moons ago, many many moons, many many many moons ago on this side of the drink and believe it was an imported show of his if not a series. Must research. Fact is it's hard for a bloke like me not to remember when you see his surname spelled with an "e."

PS (moments later)

The Frankie Howerd Show (1976)...produced in Canada...must've made its way down yonder

Three, if you count Up The Chastity Belt and Up The Front which, Blackadder style, had essentially the same lead character in different historical periods.

Rumours, nothing more. Or artistic licence, at the least.
