The alter ego of multi-talented songwriter, former 'Freshies' frontman, illustrator and animator Chris Sievey, Frank Sidebottom sprang to national fame in the mid-1980's with his soul-stirring interpretations of hits such as 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'Anarchy in the UK'. Frank's surreal, distinctly Mancunian humour garnered a legion of loyal fans, and in 1992 the aspiring pop star, Altrincham FC fan, occasional Granada reporter and self-styled Bard of Timperley launched his very own TV show, broadcast from the converted shed that functioned as his showbiz HQ. Also featuring diminutive sidekick Little Frank, the shows include Frank's take on 'Crimewatch', Timperley's contribution to Manchester's Olympic bid, pioneering rocket science in the back garden, and even a staging of Live Aid 2! So join Frank and his friends Mark Radcliffe and Caroline Aherne, in six top shows. Other varied guests include Phil Cornwell, Marc 'Lard' Riley, Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson, Midge Ure, Adamski, footballer Lee Chapman, The Farm, Keith Emerson, Oceanic, Kevin Lloyd and Nicholas Parsons. We've included the pilot show, too. Fantastic!
