- Francis Alick "Frankie" Howerd, OBE, 75, (6th March 1917 - 19th April 1992) was an English comedian and comic actor whose career, described by fellow comedian Barry Cryer as "a series of comebacks", spanned six decades.
Another Good Actor and
Comedian
So sadly 😥missed
He was so brilliant in Up Pompeii - the constant changing between script and ad-libbed asides straight into the camera and all without an audience but still perfectly timed - a masterpiece.
Always made me laugh. Thats why Im here watching videos to remember. When you need a good laugh, the classic comedians are the best.
Frankie Kenneth Eric Hattie Cilla Bruce June all gone and very much missed!
They were then and will always be in our memories the best.
and DORA,
Philip Croft oh yes! I knew I would forget someone! 😊
Don't forget the brilliant Sid James. The Carry on films wouldn't be the same without Sid . He was so damned funny . Keeping them rolling in the Isles in heaven
Paul Gavin you are so right!
I'm flabbergasted! My gast has never been so flabbered!
He was brilliant and a one off. RIP x
How can you not love this guy . To get the audience In on the act takes poise and timing . I love the funny way he gave us his lines. And the fact probably someone like him could get away with it. He was amazing. And so missed. RIP Frankie Howerd . How I miss the laughs
I found him funny but I could understand people not finding him funny
So many greats in this documentary that are sadly gone, its a little hard to watch tbh, .
RIP to all & thanks for the laughs,
I found it quite emotional when it began to dawn on me that few involved in the programme were still with us.
Very True.Not just the more obvious ones like Frankie/Brucie/Cilla but June Whitfield,David Hatch and I was about to write "half of that great writing duo:Alan Simpson" when I just discovered his writing partner:Ray Galton is,also,no longer with us.Then Dora and Joan Sims and Eric Sykes, the list,sadly, goes on and on...
@buzzclick500 I sometimes watch a favourite film and realise that everyone in it are dead. We are certainly the generations where the dead are as entertaining, or more so than the living. In a way humans have discovered immortality.
Lost so many talented comedians. FRANKIE was pure class. x
Bless him. One of my all time favourites. May he lie sweetly at rest.
He was achingly funny. There'll never be another.
My all time favourite comic. Same birthday as me too! Shame 'I want all the limelight' Forsyth had to be there. Frankie, RIP.
Awesome , god bless Frankie!! x
The greatest British comedian of all time. Unforgettable, unsurpassed. RIP Frankie Howerd. We are still laughing after all these years.
You are missed Frankie. God bless you and thanks for the " funny bits".
One the greats saw a lot of Frankie Howerd RIP on TV when I was growing up in the 70s loved up Pompei
All the best have passed away now RIP all
Absolute legend, loved him in Up Pompeii...
Another great legend makes me laugh still now sadly missed
"Titter ye not!"
One of the few performers who can stand there and say nothing and still make me laugh. So sad to hear he wasn't comfortable with his sexuality. He certainly left a lot of laughs behind for us to enjoy.
Top bloke absolute legend
Loved him, hilarious! Thank you George! 😅
Absolute legend so very sadly missed they will never be another like loved UpPompeii
A beautiful man.. One of my favourites.. Wish he was in more carry ons.
I am really enjoying your videos George, thanks for uploading them. They bring back so many memories and the spirit of past times.
Many thanks. Sincerely, GP
Sad to recognise that the first 5 contributors to this programme are also no longer with us as well.
He could make anything work. Power of his neurotic personality. Loved the way he turned on the audience as if they themselves were inventing the smut. Once tried to see the plaque in York (where he was born) and there was a flood and you couldn't get there without getting your trousers wet!
great man sorley missed
He worked that fourth wall, better than anyone. Love you Frankie, you were the best.
What a great man. We were truly blessed.
Cannot help it, but, what a wonderful, ridiculous, incorrect, challenging, self destructive, outrageous, intensely humorous bunch of British comedy stars gave us the memories and laughs and actual education in life, of a lifetime. Frankie here, the unimaginable Tommy Cooper, the Ronnies, Harry Corbett, Silly Sykes, unique Hancock, Sid, so many, so good, so giving, so amusing, the T V series with Dad's Army, Ain't half Hot, Are you being Served, Steptoes, Carry ons, too many to give some adequate justice. I'm Grateful, yes...
Thank you for sharing this most of all these people on this video are now sadly past.
You are most welcomed and are very kind. Regards, G. Pollen - www.gpollenmusic.co.uk/
George Pollen Thank you George for you reply.I have many videos of The Good Old Days on my Channel if you would like to have a look.
I have all the Good old Days recorded from BBC 2. Good entertainment of yesteryear
Dennis Jennings passed.
He had a wonderful harmonic distortion in his voice.
Frankie Howard, June Whitfield, Cilla Black, Bruce Forsyth, Eric Sykes and Galton & Simpson. All passed on now. Life is short. Make the most of it.
The sitcome he made in the 80s was great...
Frank was a comedy genius. 😮
Frankie,🙌 Ooooohhh. Misusss Oohh I Say , Very Funny Man 😂😂👏👏👏Saldley Miss 😖😖😖RiP Mate ,Your Making The Angles Laugh😁😁👍👏👏👏👏👏😕
He was bloody funny !
Up Pompeii, ooooooh if your a Frankie Howard fan I think you'll understand my favourite saying of his, hilarious😁😁😁
These people are icons
R.I.P
A true comic genius that would have me in fits of laughter, just by the expression on his face.
Totally irreplaceable
R.I.P Frank
lol Eric Sykes wearing spectacles with no lenses in them,
I think the 'glasses' were in fact a hearing aid. Sykes was almost completely deaf.
Quite odd this one as most of the ones being interviewed about him are dead themselves now 😔
That's what I thought too!
Is June Whitfield still with us?
@@racheldemain1940 no! Last December she died
Such a legend
Oooooh but oh I Oooooh noooo great comic actor
A troubled comedy genius like so many, great funny people in front of the camera , but away from it , sad in his private life, so many insecurities and lacked self esteem and confidence, but once his comedy mask was on , he felt rejuvinated ,as it was his shield from reality and the many problems it entailed.
Since this has been made slot of people have passaway rip lady's and men
A master of the fourth wall
in 1992 i was informed of the sad death of Frankie Howerd by a radio broadcast two days after hearing this i was driving over chelsea bridge and saw the ghost of frankie walking towards me heading towards battersea this happend you can believe me or not .
@fifthof how he was a ghost .
You were obviously drink driving. Tut tut.
True brit humour.
Britain has many bad points, and i don't want to live there again, but Comedians in Britain are still really the best
@fifthof is that possible lol
@fifthof 4 years ago, council tax, phone line charge, car tax, stealth tax, Police tax collecting, bad weather, boring nothing ever changes or get's done for the people, no culture apart from binge drinking and football, The Crown, expensive house prices, historic amnesia...... the list is endless
@fifthof yes but i eventually done something about it, that's the difference, i'm actually half Polish
@fifthof yes
@fifthof very true. Well said.
We are all so lucky to have seen these great comedy geniuses like Frankie Howerd. Sadly today we are lacking in this area and thanks to political correctness we will never see the likes of these people again. Thanks for the memories Frankie, RIP.
Ooooowww.......
Matron
OOOH NO, Don't laugh......poor soul.
ooh,err missus!
