In a similar move, I believe Tom Cruise has signed up to play Ted Chippington in his eagerly awaited life story.

Should be a proper box office dust up.
My money’s on Frank. He’ll get the lard lovers vote every time.

Thread title sounds like a Half Man Half Biscuit song. 😀

He was a funny guy ~ so sad when he died. I’ve got a stack of photos from a gig at the Fleece and Firkin in Bristol circa 1990. They’re all blurry and out of focus cos I was laughing too much; great gig. Just Frank with his Casio keyboard, Little Frank and Amoeba Frank 🙂
