Frank Skinner on George Formby was for me the best program documenting his life that I've seen for a long time renewing my interest in the star. It was surprising how many songs I could recall and sing along to considering it was not something my generation of teenagers would admit to knowing or liking in the 60s/70s. So his songs must have had an impact on me in a similar way that the Beatles did. In fact George Formby is more of a working class hero than John Lennon of that time.
