[@jambutty2218]

Loved him as a kid. Nearly 40 years later and he's even funnier. Inspiration for many, a true trailblazing artist.

[@terencekhoo9878]

Loved him on the Shit Show on the movie Fitlh

[@MegaSuperpotter]

R.I.P. Chris, loved Franks Timperley lectures, 99p in pay a pound and got an iou for a penny, Brilliant!

[@rexterrocks]

I proudly wear my Timperley Bigshorts football shirt.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

The Paul McCartney story...genius. The whole thing is just brilliant.

[@paulsaxton1519]

Paul McCartney?! Eat yer breakfast!

[@RossPatzelt]

@@paulsaxton1519 no its absolutly fantastic!

[@Alex79uk]

This is still brilliant in 2021. RIP Chris, comedy legend.

[@grindelston5968]

Oh is he dead? Oh shit. Rip

[@motionsuggests]

Being a Canadian in my 20s I feel like I have no business watching this, but I saw a video of him doing a Fall parody and found my way over here. love it.

[@zaphodbeeblebrox9109]

God this is fucking class, how was chris not bigger!? What a star

[@zetetick395]

_Bless your Heart Frankie!_ :D ....A Man of True and worthy Fame, in a world of Hollow Headed cardboard cut out celebs!

[@Scripture-Man]

I loved Frank as a teenager. After all this time, I thought he might not be as funny, but this absolutely had me in stitches! :D Shame he's no longer around, he would have made a perfect guest on shows like 8/10 Cats Does Countdown!

[@zaphodbeeblebrox9109]

Fucking hell i keep coming back to this, but as pilots go this was sensational. How on earth Frank wasnt massive is beyond me. We was big though in Timperley. He was. He really was.

[@mruanepoller]

This was genius, don't give a crap about his guests. It was all about Frank and quite rightly so.

[@scottpilgrim9266]

I was very lucky to see him and seen him loads of times funny person

[@ukinfidel1148]

RIP Frank - Genius.

[@pedrobarnez11]

all the lads at the end were dragged out of the pub, put on a minibus to leeds, just for the last song.. didnt mind though. chris was a great guy. sadly missed.

[@ChiptheBlackMage]

This is mental and I love it.

[@fabiannacht1784]

This is non stop gold

[@scowell]

First thing I've seen in a long time that made me feel like I'm tripping balls.

[@WorldsEliteBloodrang]

Absurdly brilliant

[@georginajovanovic]

This is the best thing I've ever seen! A++++++++++++

[@AlanCooney]

He's a real funny man! We need more comedy performers like Frank!!! I remember hearing him on the radio too!

[@stumpy4770]

Anyone else come here after their mum was talking while blowing her nose, and she sounded like Frank ?

[@vooveks]

Brilliant. Fun fact: there's a Frank Sidebottom statue near 238 Stockport Road, Timperley. ( 8:24 ). Google it.

[@flatliner3802]

Rip frank you were fantastic

[@RossPatzelt]

Wish Frank was still around he would be amazing on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown

[@mikegregory2492]

Not sure how I ended up here, but i'm laughing my head off!

[@MacStoker]

3:30 am manchester channel perfect late night mental tv when you had a few bongs

[@timelordvictorious]

The guy was crazy but also a genius

[@TR6Telos]

This was before the world went mad

[@Sewblick]

This is like am ahead of its time family friendly Eric Andre. Love it

[@MavisRileyJunior]

Sharyn Hodgson was my teen dream.

[@MoiAMJ]

[@RJ-gc8hh]

This is some good stuff! Imagine being there live... That'd be a blast!

[@awesomebillfromdawsomevill7788]

[@awesomebillfromdawsomevill7788]

[@BellsCuriosityShop]

It was really fantastic. It really was. It really was.

[@garethbeaton8414]

[@trevorduffy7131]

Great bit of Craic! R.I.P.

[@Fingaphunk3000]

AMAZING...thanks for this!!!

[@theefishlippedone]

Pure gold

[@Spartanm333]

Pretty certain this is the one I worked on at Yorkshire TV :) - a long time ago and I was drunk much of the time. Rent a celeb, James Whale appears. Frank / Chris was funny in person although I didn't really get it at the time. Having said that, he probably led me to Sheffield's own John Shuttleworth, similar in several ways.

[@2lefThumbs]

Yeah, probably a lot of cross-fertilisation for a while

[@markgreet3543]

Hope you can get this on dvd great show

[@Mr1979flapjack]

I wonder if Vic & Bob got the idea for Shooting Stars after watching this classic series?

[@gregobrien4384]

Quality.

[@richardjames9091]

Australian light entertainment must dead with all this talent over here

[@sharonjones873]

pure genius.

[@markgreet3543]

There was a lovely lady who looked like her back in the day dressed in lycra short my chat up line excuse me love you look like carly home and away that's as far as it went 🤣🤣

[@andreperkowski2082]

Fuck yes, thanks for uploading this. I'm glad I don't have to look for ancient flaking DVDRs nicked off UKNOVA back in the day.

[@xm1a1x]

before Eric Andre, there was Frank

[@daniel-zh4qc]

17:17 on -- hard to tell difference...

[@markgreet3543]

So funny they've made a dvd of his life

[@plev10]

This is amazing. It is. It really is!

[@Mushy72]

Epically unique

[@grahamfuray2106]

makes me laugh and laugh and laugh

[@Dim4323]

8:46 Don't gong until I say gong lol

[@hyena3346]

This is so fucking incredible

[@Autopsy6]

Zoo Scrapbook is the best song ever.

[@yuuurawizzard]

Eric Andre had toof used this for inspiration

[@rhettpeter83]

Well a mixture of this and Tom green id say

[@mrwookie72]

And fades out at the end!!! 😁

[@trefwoordpunk2225]

What a swiz eh!

[@Hellwyck]

How can you offend saying British instead of English?

Real audience

[@richhillyer2682]

pre cursor of vic reeves big night out?

[@jasoncha1973facup]

This was later.

[@djcactus]

Not quite but just as awesome

[@georginajovanovic]

@@djcactus I agree Vic and Bob are copying Frank Sidebottom

[@djcactus]

@@georginajovanovic I didn't say that.

[@georginajovanovic]

Please describe your thoughts... do you like? I would love to see more stuff I wonder if they have some in the archive

[@Warghoul]

Fucking brilliant!!

[@petre.w.487]

Does anyone know where this was actually recorded ?........Maybe Timperley Scout Hut !!..

[@pedrobarnez11]

yorkshire television, leeds.

[@petre.w.487]

pedro barnez Is that correct or a guess ?..

[@pedrobarnez11]

Petre .W. i was there mate stood next to the big fella at the end. great laugh had by all.

[@petre.w.487]

pedro barnez Thanks for that. Having been a resident of Timperley I am curious about what's been going on there !!...and what hasn't !!..

[@bradnordhaha6917]

+pedro barnez when was that bud? What year

[@iancarter5217]

Yo I’m terrified

[@PAULLONDEN]

Guests shouldn't be laughing ...knowing this is comedy .... they should act like this is a serious interview.

[@InfiniteRhombus]

holy shit this rules

[@carpypark]

This is totally not bobbins!

[@gabrieldan3645]

Me siento drogado cuando veo eso.

[@Dim4323]

You dont know what a horrnet is?

[@paulspydar]

ten thumbs down! ahh what a shame to be afflicted without a laugh organ.. :-(

[@rhettpeter83]

Well what’s so great about these maverick comedians is you get it or you don’t. And it’s even more special for those that get it cos it feels for them, you know. Or another way of putting it, if it was universally liked there would be nothing unique or special about getting the brand of humour

[@mrwookie72]

James whale probably did the show for £50!

[@trefwoordpunk2225]

£40 more than Frank then!

[@Sportingalagrieska]

😂😂😂

[@ivasvobodova1732]

He fell out of his chair. Was he pissed?

The squid is correct!

[@trefwoordpunk2225]

What a master of morse code!!

[@Vanosphere]

Big head

[@jeremybeadle7961]

O9:23

[@SwampWater]

This idea seems more than a little borrowed from the Red Green show. Even the theme song.

[@MrBenabrown]

Except not really.

[@CharlesHawthorn]

No there was no borrowing going on here, this pilot was recorded on August 25th 1991, and the theme music was first used on Frank's fantastic tales in 1987. Do a bit of research first buddy.

[@SwampWater]

The Red Green character and idea has been around since 1979. Do a bit of research first buddy.

[@CharlesHawthorn]

I did have a look at this red green character earlier, i wish i hadn't, and there is no similarities between that and Frank. Your original comment was about the two shows. You were wrong.

[@SwampWater]

Yes, hosting a show in a shed. No similarities at all. *eye roll*

[@markhodgson2348]

Terrible

[@chrisshalaby5845]

this sucks

[@vooveks]

And you suck _more_ . How must that feel?

[@zaphodbeeblebrox9109]

You suck, you really do, actually. Have you even been to timperley?

[@williampalmer1660]

Absurdly brilliant
