He is one of the best known faces in television comedy, yet the long-suffering vicar of Walmington-On-Sea is in real life a Christian of deep conviction. Perfectly cast as the eccentric vicar, constantly tetchy at the invasion of his church hall by Captain Mainwaring and the elderly platoon, he appeared in "Dad's Army" throughout its nine-year run and also in many other television and stage dramas. Still in constant demand for public appearances, Frank takes an affectionate view behind the scenes of the series and the world of show business and reveals his personal journey through faith. 2018 will be the 50th anniversary of the television series "Dad's Army", with Frank one of just two original cast members still alive.
Here, Syd Little presents his all-time favourite religious jokes and stories, many from other TV celebrities, such as Rick Wakeman, Bobby Davro, Ted Rogers and others. The result is a celebration of one of God's best gifts: fun and laughter.
Here is the full show-biz story of the comedy double-act, Cannon & Ball, which tells of the ups and downs of their career and the changes in their lives when they both became Christians. Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball broke all records for capacity audiences at the London Palladium and the longest running show in Blackpool. They are still doing summer seasons and pantomime seasons each year as well as their gospel shows. In this book they tell their own story. Tommy and Bobby met in 1964 when they were both very young and working in a factory. It was to be the start of a lifelong friendship and a double act that would soon turn professional. The famous duo chart their careers; the laughter and pain along the way; the changes that conversion to Christian faith brought for both of them. And it is all told in their honest, blunt, down-to-earth style.
