Philip Franks is one of the few Dictionary Corner guests who is believable when they say that they (and not Susie Dent) got a word. He applied for the show, but in the interim got famous and did the dirty with Catherine Zeta Jones while David Jason encouraged them. Or something. Given to making obscure theatrical and literary references that go right over our heads, but harmless enough. 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". 176 appearances since his debut in Series 23.
