Frank Thornton


It is the first time I was able to see Frank Thornton (of Are You Being Served? TV fame) without that baggage under his eyes.

Paula Jo

He looked great, here, didn't he? I recognized him instantly from AYBS? even though I didn't immediately recall his name. I wish repeats of his other series were available in the US. It's obvious from this film that he's always been a fine comedic actor.

I, too, was so happy to see him. I'd only seen him in "AYBS," "Gosford Park," and "The Last of the Summer Wine." And I see on IMDB that he was in "Shades of Greene," but I don't remember him in that. (Now THAT's a series for PBS to bring back!) He's so young here, and so handsome. And what a voice! Thank you, TCM, for showing this (and all your other) movies.

I'd never seen him this way either, but as soon as I saw him as The BBC, I said to myself - it's Captain Peacock!
