Frank visits a School for Disabled Children


In this quirky short film, Frank Sidebottom - surreal comic character, performer, and Timperley's most famous resident, takes his sidekick Little Frank to a school for children with disabilities in Cheadle. The children are delighted to pose for local press photographers with their unusual visitor, and Frank proceeds to entertain pupils and staff alike with his unique and bizarre brand of humour.
