About this audiobook
Frankie Abbott is certainly one of the most memorable characters from the British sitcoms Please Sir! (which ran from 1968 to 1971) and The Fenn Street Gang (1971 to 1973). Now, David Barry – the much-loved actor who played Frankie in both TV series and the spin-off film – gives us a highly-anticipated glimpse into what the trouble-maker is up to today.
As it turns out, with well over five decades having passed since his Fenn Street days, the mother-smothered fantasist is now living in a care home… and is still a big-talking buffoon whose ‘true stories’ are littered with guns, girls and gangsters. However, with Frankie upsetting some of the home’s other residents, two carers – Marion and Sarah – set out to discover the truth of his past, attempting to find out whether he really was the hard man he still claims to have been.
In true sitcom style, these two episodes of The Lives of Frankie Abbott have been recorded in front of a live studio audience, and will delight both fans of the original series and newcomers to the character alike.
Additional cast include: Graham Cole as Charlie, Larry Dann as Melvin, Felicity Dean as Marion, Suzanne Maddock as Sarah and Judy Matheson as Grace.
