 Howerd, Frankie
Frankie Howerd was a popular post-war stand-up comedian, who survived many changes in the humour tastes of the British nation to remain a television favourite until his death in 1992.
Howerd made his feature film debut in 1954, a major role in The Runaway Bus and had a small but memorable part in The Ladykillers the following year and it was such film roles and occasional radio appearances that kept him occupied throughout the rest of the 1950s.
The anarchic comedy new wave that emerged in the wake of the punk rock phenomenon began to be taken seriously by television companies by the early 1980s and there was a backlash against Howerd's sexual innuendo style of humour in favour of full frontal comedy attacks on taboo subjects.
