Product reviewsThen Churchill Said To Me: DVD, BBC TV Series, Comedy, Frankie Howerd

Classic Frankie

This series was shelved by the BBC because of the Falklands war,and it was ten years before it was aired in any station.
It is classic Frankie Howerd,but I can see why it remained unaired,as it was probably a dated kind of comedy even in the early nineties.
Good to watch as Frankie is on form.Read full review...

Certainly not disappointed, long live nostalgia.

I simply love old style comedians, they seem to have better timing than the so called comics of today. I remembered this being on TV, albeit vaguely and thought I'd wallow in a bit of nostalgia. A lot of shows become somewhat dated but Frankie can make you forget the time lapse.Read full review...

Then Chruchill said to me

An attempt to revive the Up Pompeii formula but without the strong supporting cast or scripts . An older Frankie lacks the energy of Up pompeii or even Whoops Baghdad and the interplay with the audience that worked so well in those series , even though largely scripted , falls short here . But for people interested in the career of Frankie Howerd , it is worth getting .

then churchill said to me D.V.D

I liked this DVD because I was a big fan of frankie Howards and never caught this series whenm it was on T.V. So I was happy I got the chance to purchase it on disc. It was what I expected and enjoyed it very much.Read full review...

amusing but dated

I bought this as I am a fan of the classic Frankie Howerd movies Up Pompeii etc. Although this still shows Howerd's comic abilities, I think they stretched the shows too much and some of the humour seems very forced and dated when viewed today. Saying this, there are some very funny moments and this should still provide delights for the collector, but for someone viewing Frankie for the first time, you would be better seeing one of the other films first.Read full review...
