Frankie is brill. I saw him live in Deptford in the early 90's, I remember his last words as he left the stage and gave a victory sign,'up Deptford'.

It's all about 1:42.

Alan Carr remides me so much of Franky Howard..

Hahahaha! Brilliant! Sometimes my folks would let me stay up and watch it. I didn't get half of the jokes but still thought it was great. Watched all the repeats many years later.

Fantastic - I love the bit at 1.42 when he makes that " I know what's coming next " expression...a real genius

I think I can class your comment as pure irony.
