Is this the best post ever on Kickback? Not for me to say but I think you'd be hard pushed to find a better one. Nearly choked on my coffee!

Apparently his favourite song was Glen Frey's biggest hit. RIP Frank. Looking back, the scandal which ended his career seems quite mild, in the light of the yewtree stuff. I was surprised when I saw that he was only about 50 when he started on Breakfast Time. He looked a whole lot older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked a whole lot older. It was a shock at the time and absolutely contrary to the character portrayed on screen. He used to do the BBC Holiday programme too iirc with his wife Nesta so his reputation was his selling point on screen and was sensible, serious, reliable Home counties hubbie. You're right though jeezo he did always look old ..... drugs and hookers will do that to a man 🙂 Edited October 26, 2020 by RobboM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CostaJambo Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I vividly remember as a kid, during the half-time debate of a random World Cup game which he was presenting, one of the pundits suddenly asked "What do you think Frank?" and when the camera quickly darted to him he had a finger up one nostril. It was only years later I realised that: A. It was probably a deliberate set-up by the pundit, and B. He wasn't necessarily digging in there for what the child-me had thought he was rooting around for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Grappelli Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Selena Scott absolutely slating the big man in the paper. Not quite sure how to say it but basically he was always bragging about the size of his knob, his boabie, his John Thomas... well you get the idea.
