There are a large amount of varied clips on the DVD, which make it fast-moving and includes a lot of material, which is good, but personally, I would have preferred fewer and longer pieces. The idea of just an apparently random selection of parts of interviews and sketches doesn't really work, in my opinion. I would have liked to see a more rigid format, either with a chronological review of the work or a documentary style DVD with illustrative clips.
This is the latest BBC DVD on FrankieHowerd, as it was released last year and is currently available from Amazon for £8.98. The Comedy Greats collection also includes similar releases on other comedians such as Les Dawson, Tony Hancock, Spike Milligan and Tommy Cooper.

?Dear Frankie? Shona Auerbach?s feature debut and she shows a firm hand with what could have been a terribly mawkish script. Her direction is spare and underplays the more emotionally manipulative aspects of the film, such as Frankie?s deafness. True, it is a sentimental film but it never over-eggs the pudding, thanks largely to ...
Advantages: features different characters Disadvantages: Barney!

Here are some of my favourite episodes :-
Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends
The fogman
It is winter and is foggy , Cyril the fogman lays detenators on the tracks to warn the trains when there is fog.
The fat controller shows the trains a new invention a foghorn which is very noisy and the trains are really not impressed.
