Good Afternoon Plus - Thames TV 28th March 1980
Hosts: Mavis Nicholson and Simon Reed
This will make painful viewing for those who, like me, love Frankie Howerd. Though it is not his finest hour, it shows another side of the great comedian, when confronted with his nemesis, a new, young and highly successful comedian. We also see Howerd dealing uncomfortably with retorts from a fellow performer who was not bound by showbiz etiquette or politeness when cornered by his aggressor. Ironically, both men were gay in private but ambiguous in their public personas.

Howerd was of course, gay, and very, very secretive about it. You can see his expression when he says "well you heard wrong", he was genuinely annoyed. And throwing water into Kenny's face at the end...not ENTIRELY for laughs, I think.

Talking of being nervous, I was watching Kenny's hands very closely expecting at any moment for him to whip frankies toupee off. But it shows that his anarchy was just an act. They did have a little gay dig at each other but it was all done in the best possible taste. ❤ So many of the great comedians are now only with us through videos and films.

Frankie Howerd (and his two sisters) used to teach Sunday School at the church my Grandfather was vicar of (St Barnabas in Eltham). Apparently he was often late for the planning sessions & would often 'wing-it' at Sunday School resulting in lots of laughter coming from the classes he was taking! When Frankie appeared in panto in Eastbourne I took my Grandma to see him at one of the matinee performances. After the show Grandma insisted on going to the stage door. The stage manager asked what she wanted "Can you tell Frances that Ruby Rogers is here to see him" she asked. Next thing I knew, Frankie himself turned up and whisked us off to his dressing room. They then spent 3 hours catching up on old times in Eltham. Frankie arranged for extra food for us to eat with him. At one point during the afternoon Frankie asked me a series of probing questions about my life in the Navy (him 'interviewing' Kenny reminded me so much of that afternoon.) Frankie was kind and funny without having to resort to any of his catchphrases and it was a surprise to all of us when, 3 hours later, there was a knock at the door to say "curtain up in 5 minutes Mr Howerd" for the evening show.

I love that Kenny, very relatable. I was the stick insect too. We used our brains to get out of fights because we had no muscles. I remember a time when two little bullies were swinging on my school tie, I was already 6 feet tall. I thought "I've had enough of this.' Let them think they've won, fell on top of them. One ended up with a broken collar bone and the other got a broken leg. I never got picked on after that. A little ironic, most people say that we need to stand up to bullies. I prefer to squash them. Anyway, I hope no one is suffering. Please all enjoy your days. ❤

That was one of the most genuinely anarchic interviews ive seen on mainstream TV...and thats coming from somene who actually is a political anarchist!....Sadly the over muscled Charles Atlas time is back nowadays, and even worse than it was in the 1950s, when Kenny was a kid. Folk were thin in the 1960s and 1970s and, as he says, the artistic type was in fashion. Now its the fashion to spend way too much time in the gym building up the six pack, and not bother to do ANY artistic or intellectual things at all. Which is partly why Britain has so few good music bands or interesting DJ's or even comedians nowadays. Is that an improvement? Nah, mate, nah...

Thank you for uploading this. I think I misremembered the tone of the exchange between Kenny and Frankie ("That's not what I heard" "Well you heard wrong!"). Perhaps I was more sensitive in those days, because I remembered it as a rather poisonous moment. Seeing it again, it seems just a bit of waggery (although dishonest). Perhaps I was reading too much into it back in the day. Isn't KZbin wonderful? A vaguely remembered bit of daytime TV that I never imagined I would see again, now available, thanks to you.

I’ve been looking on-and-off for this program for years. Thank you very much for sharing it. I’ve adored Frankie since I was a child. My grandad was also a fan. We had the opportunity to see him in pantomime one year, but he had to bow out at the last minute because of a leg operation so we got George Takei instead. George Takei was brilliant but it was such a shame we never saw Frankie. One of my regrets in life is that I never got to see him live. It’s absolutely great to see Frankie and Kenny working so well together.

Typical of our so-called 'tolerant and inclusive' society that so many here are referring to the reported homosexuality of the two comics. Who cares?!! In those days people just laughed at the jokes and didn't give a damn about their 'sexuality'. The two were never my favourite comedians, I much preferred the likes of Tommy Cooper and Les Dawson but, hey, these were great days when people were not so easily 'offended' as they are today. Slowly but surely we have lost quite a bit of freedom to say what we like on a public platform and that's sad.

"This will make painful viewing for those who, like me, love Frankie Howerd. Though it is not his finest hour, it shows another side of the great comedian, when confronted with his nemesis, a new, young and highly successful comedian. We also see Howerd dealing uncomfortably with retorts from a fellow performer who was not bound by showbiz etiquette or politeness when cornered by his aggressor." Bit OTT. Not painful. Frankie did a good long 'me' routine while Kenny sat quietly. After Mavis brought him in, Kenny was naughty; provocative, physical, teasing about being gay. Frankie didn't like his rhythm being wrecked but he coped. The water chucking Kenny deserved!

From different epochs. Howard developing his characterisation and humour to appease and tickle live generic profile audiences of his time (that I think he developed during his military conscription time). Everett just developing what he had, from his nature and life observations, in an era of far greater choice, freedom and audience selectivity (inherent in radio vs "the only theatre in town"). Kind of like Edinburgh fringe comedy: - no captive audience => no captive comedian => Marmites. I loved KE on the radio - belly laughs!

I grew up watching these 2 in the 80s. Been a kid and seeing these 2 was mind blowing. This clip is pure tv gold. 📺 back in the day when tv was very watchable.

When Kenny Everett was alive and a well known Tory, and I a narrow minded leftie - so I disliked him. Now I'm no longer a leftie - I realise what a little bigot I was -- he's actually very likeable. This is classic TV. Frankie is great too. I remember when some clown cancelled Mavis - I have never forgiven him.

Loved that the whole thing was slightly out of control. I never found Kenny Everett that funny, but he certainly made things unpredictable and they were very brave to allow him on.

I always liked Simon Reed - he had a laid-back manner and looked like he'd been pumped full of valium, as though he was about to keel over asleep at any second - kind of endearing. Hadn't realised he was still active till I heard he was axed from TV sports commentary for calling someone a "bastard" off mic. Seems a bit harsh, tbf. And who knew he was Olly Reed's younger brother?

The funny thing is that although their characters are jarring within this kind of format (two jesters never works) you also get the feeling that after a few drinks and time to relax around each other that they would actually have some pretty interesting conversations, probably not broadcastable in tone but as we know they had much in common besides their sexual proclivities, being in the same industry, experiences/gossip of other industry figures etc.

Even if we had talent like that these days. They wouldn’t be able to give the best of themselves. Certainly not on the BBC. They were both comic geniuses. Very sadly missed.

It wasn't often that Frankie was himself in front of the cameras, but I think he came across quite well actually. And fair play to Kenny, who let him speak for the most part without dragging the attention onto himself. All in all, a very enjoyable glimpse of the 'old guard' in the company of the 'new wave' back in 1980.
