Play for Today: Fearless Frank

on BBC One London

or Tit-Bits from the Life of an Adventurer by Andrew Davies
starring and
A dramatic romp in the company of Frank Harris , 1855-1931, the most infamous man of letters of his day, and author of the scandalous My Life and Loves, banned in this country until 1964.
Fearless Frank was brilliantly executed ... was the best comedy seen on television this year ... (THE TIMES) Leonard Rossiter turns in one of his brilliant performances in a part that suits him perfectly. (SUNDAY TIMES) Absolutely not to be missed. (EVENING STANDARD)
