''shut your face..''.like that expression. so lovley to hear cilla speak about him with so much love and admiration...

[@rmstitanic8163]

I think it's true to say. All the best funny men are gone now. But they will never be forgotten. Their comic genius will live on forever. I feel so privileged to have lived through a time when the likes of Frankie Howerd were regulars on TV and always on in our house while growing up. The days of real entertainment.

[@danw1374]

Frankie howerd could have any audience eating out of his hand, a rare gift and of course he was bloody hilarious.

[@Robby334]

Love him, one of the greatest comedians UK has ever had. Bless you Frankie

[@terryhurley1]

The absolute greatest Standup ever

[@meirwise1107]

The greatest standup in the English language. Career over 60 years. Idolized by the students towards the end. No swearing. Broke every rule of comedy. Unequalled. RIP Sir Francis.

[@gordonmonaghan133]

Wouldn't, say he was the greatest, as much as I liked him, but definitely the most unique.

[@multimill]

"Three Little Fishes" took me back to Ed Stewart and Junior Choice on the radio as a child 😊

[@nigelhutchinson9535]

One of the greatest comedians ever

Top comedian, one of the best of the seventies.

[@garysmith291]

[@garryhastings3383]

Loved the way this totally clever and funny man could soo easily hold the audience. His timing was spot-on as were those long and drawn-out jokes. Fantastic entertainer.

[@suzannerose5080]

Love him so amazing!! comedy is not the way it used to be this kind of quality; him and Kenny Williams

[@LALakersNornIron]

Agreed. He and Kenneth Williams had very similar qualities.

[@jonflynn1]

Wonderful. Thanks for uploading. Frankie Howerd was totally unique. Hilarious. Way ahead of his time.

[@TheTheoldgit]

Eric Sykes who wrote for Frankie was a brilliant comedian in his own right.Check out "The Plank" here on youtube

[@marywilliams9858]

My dad wrote some scripts for Rich Little when he was starting out.

[@annabelthegreat]

I spy Blue Screen!!!!! Brilliant :) great programme

[@marywilliams9858]

He was very intelligent.

[@oshuhua]

He was great in the BBC version of Trial by Jury, my first exposure to this fine comedian.

[@Car1234oppinions]

[@cindys1819]

Why is this guy funny? Maybe in England but other than that.....

[@jessiejames7492]

he never acted gay to me. even in his movies its hard to tell....

[@ianbarnett4511]

FRAKIE HOWARD IS STILL VERY FUNNY TODAY. NOT LIKE SOME COMEDIANS TODAY WHO ARE NOT EVEN FUNNY. BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST RUBBISH. Barney Glasgow. 😎

[@Corinthian44]

Only Ken Dodd was greater !

[@TheHannible]

Was this Guy gay? Very funny!

[@7ofthem]

very

[@TheHannible]

I thought so but I thought it was his act. Oh Mrs lol

[@rexmundi2237]

+TheHannible His audience spent decades wondering exactly the same thing. Lovable closeted gay uncle persona, which became ever more poignant in the liberated seventies when people started becoming more relaxed and less judgmental about a person's sexual preferences.

[@jessiejames7492]

+Rex Mundi I prefer the old days. people kept quiet about their sexual orientation if it was something other than heterosexual. These days its all too vulgar..And I do believe gay/women who have children by adoption or surrogate are doing those children a grave injustice. They deserve to know what a heterosexual orientation is too...How would you expect them to grow up to be...? naturally theyll lean towards homosexuality or lesbianism...Thats all they know. And when they go to school theyll have 2 dads while other children have a dad and a mum. Slam me if you want ...

[@hannible1002]

I did read somewhere on here his manager had to bribe some news paper hack not to print a story about him being gay cuz it would ruin his career. Thing is I recon every one knew he was gay, the UK audience loved him I dont think they would have given a flying shit. I loved him realy thought he was the best.

[@clearlake3492]

Never found him funny.
