Featured review
Oh No it's Selwyn Froggitt is a television comedy show, that I had heard of but not actually managed to watch, when it was originally broadcast.
It is one comedy that has not been rebroadcast widely, but it has now appeared on the Freeview channel That's tv, and I am taking the opportunity to watch it.
All I can remember of the show is that it stars Bill Maynard, its funny reading his comments about appearing in it, that he felt "the danger of it taking over his life" but I have to ask him, where would your career be without it?
The show is set in the fictional Yorkshire town of Scarsdale, Selwyn Froggitt is a leading light on the Committee, of the local Working Men's Institute.
Much to the chagrin of the other Committee members, Jack, Mervyn, Clive, and Harry.
Selwyn Froggitt lives with his mum and his brother Maurice, he really is an archetypal barm pot, that's a colloquial expression from that neck of the woods, that refers to a character who is to say the least, rather slow on the uptake.
But what Selwyn lacks in marbles, he more than makes up for in enthusiasm, indeed he seems to possess more, than his fair share of gumption.
