that was what prompted the thread tbh...

but I sort of knew him (as Chris Sievey) can't really say how but he was a really nice fella ... like most geniuses, he died too young

Much more than that, created Mrs Merton for Caroline Ahern, Mark & Lard played in his band on Frank's Fantastic Shed Show, the living test card, Rogertheboynextdoor, he was prolific.

Have you see the 2014 film Frank with Michael Fassbender?

Quite disturbing viewing of a flawed genius
