Jimmy Perry said he appeared in some episodes of Hugh and I....haven't been able to spot him anywhere from Youtube episodes, but did happen to see Frank appear around the 22:30 mark and again at around 26:25, from 1965....

I found this on YT, a 1963 Comedy Playhouse by Galton & Simpson called The Handyman. Starring Alfred Marks, but co-starring Frank Williams. Robert Raglan and Anthony Sagar also appear.
I haven't watched it yet, I've only flicked through it without sound, so I can't comment too much on it.

Here is a great television film called The Mountain And The Molehill in which Frank Williams appears in a supporting role. This film is the true story of three boys who jeopardised the whole D Day invasion when they inadvertently used several invasion code words that they'd overheard while hanging out with American and Canadian troops in their area in crossword puzzles they were setting for their headmaster, who in turn was having them published in the Times. The security forces picked up on them and suspected a spy ring. Brilliant story, and all that woven around the main boy, Reg's, coming of age and his crush on the girl in who's house he was living as an evacuee. Well worth a viewing.

A couple of screenshots of Frank from Monty Python. The second image is after Frank has ripped someone's head off and is looking down the hole!   Frank's certainly never been afraid to do surreal stuff! |

A segue into a Terry Gilliam animation, I imagine?

I had no idea Frank appeared in the show until my son watched this particular episode on Netflix. I heard the voice first rather than notice the face as it was swathed in bandages, then the courtroom sketch confirmed that it was indeed Frank.

Hi all. New to the forum, but what a great place to see all this info! First of all, thanks to all the admins -  I was wondering if Frank was going to be at any conventions or signings this year? If not, does anyone have his fanmail address? I'd love to write him a personal letter of appreciation. |

Frank's birthday came and went while I was on holiday and offline. What a remarkable milestone for a thoroughly nice fellow.

Interesting film with Graham Stark, who specialised in the visual comedy, although one could have imagined Edward Sinclair blustering in and attempting to intervene! |

I love these types of short-films featuring well-known types, they have a surreal quality to them. I still watch home movies with my old movie projector (albeit an 8mm, not a 16mm) at least until the bulb finally goes, because I've got no idea where I'd get a replacement. |

Thanks for sharing that film (Andy and JM). I'd missed it previously. Looks like something to watch.
I've owned 8mm and 16mm projectors in my time but right now I just have a handful of films (the Diana Rigg 'vanity films' that we got scanned for the Avengers DVD releases) and no projectors. I will no doubt inherit more than I'll ever want when my parents, who are amateur filmmakers, pop off!
