Some of his most successfuI shows were produced for lTV, and this set presents six shows transmitted on the network between 1973 and 1991 which refIect an ever-broadening appreciation of his comic genius - from the hugeIy popular variety shows of the seventies to the enthusiasticaIly received routines on Britain s university campuses during the early nineties, confirming Frankie Howerd s status not only as a comedy icon but a cult hero embraced by a generation of young student aficionados. Featuring guests John Le Mesurier, Sheila Steafel, Kenny Lynch and Norwegian Bond girI Julie Ege, with writing from Johnny Speight, Barry Cryer and Vince Powell, this marveIIous collection presents Frankie at his finest. |
