During his long showbiz career, Frankie Howerd had quite a few ups and downs.

It was during one of these 'down' periods, in 1962, that Frankie decided to take a trip. Not to Clacton - but to the other side of his consciousness as he tried to deal with his depression through the controversial, though legal, use of LSD.

Comedy drama by Martyn Hesford.
