Who is this person?

Frank sidebottom?

That'll be the one. Thanks KTC

I'm not mad!! You've seen it too? I tried to describe this to my H and he said I was off my head. Anyone else I mentioned it to looked as me as if I was another type of crazy. I think he is called Frank something and he wore a suit from what I remember of him - he was also very creepy

? No Meep, not just you. We didn't dream it. If you have any other 'weird' thoughts just let me know as i've probably had them too. I kept thinking Pob but i knew it wasn't him.

That is so weird-I was walking past navigation rd tram station yesterday (near manchester) and saw a poster that he`s appearing at the working mans` club there next week-and every thursday- how the mighty have fallen

H and I saw him in december 2007 at the little civic in wolverhampton - he is very funny and seemed to have a slightly cult following who knew all of his songs etc.

Anyone remember Number 73 on a Saturday morning? He used to make regular appearances on it if my memory serves me correctly. God i'm getting old.

Frank Sidebottom is from Timperley so apeparing near Navigation Road station is not a surprise. Loved his "radio timperley" broadcasts in the late 80s and early 90s.

he he-who could forget `born in Timperley`?!!! It`s a tiny little club though, I`ve usually seen him at glastonbury and bigger venues.

LOL, I live about 5 minutes from Timperley. I have to say I've never found Frank Sidebottom funny, although my H does.

Can't get youtube now but i will have to listen to him later because didn't he have this weird voice too? I was going to say like 'muffled' but i suppose it would be with a big lump of paper mache on your head ?

Frank sidebottom gives me the dry boak - he used to terrify me when i was wee. one of the downsides to living in manchester now* is seeing his papier mache face leering out at me from posters. creepy creepy creepy.

* only joking. ish.

Sorry to bounce but I just stumbled across this which some might enjoy https://twitter.com/Mr_Sidebottom ?

I hhhate him, he freaks me out!

I could picture the character you mean, but wouldn't have a clue about the name. Was it my imagination, or was he on the TV game show, Remote Control ?

I'm with those who find him disturbing - I was trying to see if Rob Newman was on Twitter and somehow managed to find him (he follows Mark Thomas)

WTP knows him; they were quite matey at one point and I think* he used to work on Bob The Builder (although obviously not wearing his huge papier mache head in the studio)

I don't find Frank Sidebottom funny. For some reason WTP finds it fall-over-in-kinks funny, and persuaded a friend of ours to book him as entertainment at a festival. Cue much bemused/confused polite smiles from most of the non-Brits present.

*I can't swear to it. I just think that's the case. Everyone who works in kids TV is a bit odd anyway. ?
