The Frankie Howerd Show

Radio 4 Extra, 8am

This seven-part series,

repeated for the first time

since its 1974 transmission,

marks just over 30 years

since the death of Frankie

Howerd, right. It tells his life

story with contributions from

his fellow performers

including June Whitfield and

Bob Todd. We begin with him

failing to get into Rada and

entertaining troops during

service in the British Army,

then in 1946 making his radio

debut. The later parts of the

story show him gaining more

recognition in the 1960s when

he participated in Peter

Cook’s Establishment Club in

London and the satirical TV

show That Was the Week That

Was. Ben Dowell
