Very much so - both played excellent parts - you'll def. enjoy it - but don't expect many laughs - it's a proper drama, and beter for it too - the 'set pieces' where they re-enact some key scenes though... done spot on! And it was only after that I found out 'Harry' was the same chap as played Lucius Malfoy in the 'Harry Potter' films!  "Yew duurty awl' wizard!"  N. |

[glow=red,2,300]Frankie Howerd: Rather You Than Me[/glow]
Wednesday 9 April, 9pm, BBC Four
Frankie Howerd: Rather You Than Me
David Walliams stars as one of his own comedy favourites in this moving, humorous and poignant story of Howerd's fight with his inner demons.
The actor and comedian says: "I have been a life-long fan of Frankie and his work: I even managed to get an autograph after one of his shows!"
"Playing Howerd is, in many ways, a dream role for me. In fact, Matt Lucas and I first bonded as struggling comedians over a shared love of Frankie Howerd impressions."
Frankie Howerd is to this day an enduring and celebrated icon of British comedy, and his "thrice nays" and "titter ye not" have been immortalised in the canon of comedy catch-phrases.
Behind the scenes, however, Howerd was a man riddled with professional doubts, conflicted by his homosexuality and wracked with depression.
He kept his sexuality and relationship with partner Dennis Heymer secret until his death in 1992.
