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.
