Frank Sidebottom on Granada Reports talking about his very first EP. Some snips of Tony Wilson and Richard Madeley doing the presenting. It's really poor audio and video quality; sorry.
Broadcast sometime in the 1998; this is an excerpt from Granada Men and Motors' 'H.O.T' programme. Presented by Jenny Powell and (prototype Dermot O'Leary) Ed Hall; the clip shows when Frank Sidebottom visited Stockport Art Gallery to learn about art, and features some paintings he did and his attempts to sell them. To quote Frank: "Let's bung em up and flog 'em".
Due to popular requests... here's the whole thing. It's the video of Frank's version of The Smiths' classing filmed in the streets (and pub) of Timperley.
Frank Sidebottom was a guest on ITV2's 'Greased Lightnin' on 26th May 2007. Holly Willoughby introduces him. Really if you don't like big heads, don't watch this. Most bizarre.
As broadcast at 0035h on Saturday 11th January 1992, apparently since lost by Granada TV. So here's a clip featuring Sharyn Hodgson ('Carly' out of 'Home and Away') and James Whale.
Frank Sidebottom on Remote Control. That's the quiz show based on the American one of the same name. Here Frank is dressed as a Beatle, and Little Denise takes the role of a Beatle wife. Tony Wilson is the host.
A Rare TV Statement from The Aphex Twin part of C4's 100 Greatest Pop Videos; from 2005. Windowlicker was number 65. A great performance; and one which neatly disects the ridiculousness of a lot of the talking head/clip shows which appear on TV now. Errr which Frank now often appears in. Oh well. Thank-you.
Frank Sidebottom appeared at TV21 in Manchester on 28th May 2007. Although he mainly showed films and movies he did do some tunes... here's some punk rock actually. Thank-you.
James Whale used to have a live TV programme late night on ITV. In May 1991 a programme celebrated his 40th Birthday party. Frank arrives in this clip....
In 2007 Frank appeared on a programme about the most annoying songs in the world. These clips are about regional accents though (not annoying songs) and also top tips for stardom.
