Johnny	I know some people who met Frankie. They did say he was a boring old fart, which shocked me, seeing him in the carry ons and things... so one thing you can say about him is that he was a great actor! He was also very, very funny (on screen at least!).

Lawrence	Cannot abide David Walliams. Hate Little Britain, hate him, even hate his comic relief stunts. The curse of comedy series was ruined by none other than Walliams. He believes, helped by OK magazine, that he's the 'new' Hancock, or the new 'Kenny Williams'.. he couldn't tie their bootlaces. Take the s out of curse...and let's help find the Cure for comedy...getting rid of Walliams will be a step in the right direction.
Clifford	Excellent portrayed by Walliams. Captured the torment poor Frankie suffered. Only gripe, too much emphasis on the seedy side of his homosexuality. Its fine the first couple of times to see him and Dennis sleep together, but more time could have been focused on the story rather than the shock factor.
emmapeelfanclub	I didn't watch this because of David Walliams. Millions may find him funny and talented but I don't... if anything he gives me the creeps and when I heard he was playing Frankie Howerd, I was not impressed. So, to hear here what some thought of his performance makes me glad I didn't bother. Just because he is a "comedian" doesn't necessarily qualify him to act the part of a famous comedian in a drama. I love Frankie Howerd's work though must confess a little of it goes a long way. Certainly a unique and peculiar man. I remember Michael Parkinson talking about interviewing him and that Howerd insisted on using a script which defeated the object of an interview, hinting at Howerd's insecurity with being "himself" on screen. As for the wig, the Carry On films director is on record as saying it was the only wig he ever saw that actually had dandruff on it!
