Episodes with Philip Franks

Philip Franks is a guest on Countdown. He is an actor and director, best known for his roles in the television series The Darling Buds of May and Heartbeat.

He applied for the show, but in the interim became famous as an actor. Like Geoffrey Durham, he usually sets a puzzle going into the ad break – something like "name eight Roman poets who share their names with motorway service stations". Franks also presided over Richard Whiteley’s final ever episode.
