BEFORE HE WAS MARCUS DENT HE WAS JASON STUBBS!

TV SERIES:
"Frank Stubbs Promotes"
Created by Simon Nye

Frank Stubbs Presents, was a comedy/drama TV series of 13 episodes. It ran from July 1993 to August 1994.

The cast included many UK notables: Timothy Spall (Harry Potter), Imelda Staunton (Harry Potter/Pirates), Sylvester McCoy (Dr Who), Lesley Sharp (Full Monty) and of course, Charlie Condou (Charlotte Gray/Good/Judge Dredd/Fred Claus/Key To Rebecca).

When Charlie started work on the show at age eighteen, he was already a seasoned actor, having been in earlier movies and TV shows from about the age of twelve. When the series concluded he was twenty.

Charlie played Jason Stubbs, the son of Frank Stubbs (Timothy Spall). In the show, the Stubbs family were newly separated and the children lived at their mother's residence. When Jason (Condou), had screen time it was usually to put his father down for what had happened to the family. The episode where Charlie first made his appearance was Season 1, Episode 2: "Wheels."

It was during the filming of this series that Charlie met one of his long-term friends, Amanda Mealing.
Charlie and Amanda are still in contact some 20 years on. By using the blog search facility (top left corner), you'll be able to locate and read some of their correspondence. If, you are a regular CCC blog follower, you'll know that Charlie has had correspondence with Timothy Spall, Danniella Westbrook (another long-term friend) and many others of the Frank Stubbs' alumni.

 Basic synopsis:
Frank Stubbs (Timothy Spall) is a down-at-heel ticket tout with grand ideas. He has an ambition to become a 'high class' promoter of famous and talented performers. In reality, his ambitions tend to outstrip his capabilities. 
Above: The series has been released in various formats but is not currently available.

CAST:
Charlie Condou ... Jason Stubbs (unknown episodes)
Timothy Spall ... Frank Stubbs (13 episodes, 1993-1994)

Hazel Ellerby ... Diane Stubbs (1993) (unknown episodes)

Lesley Sharp ... Petra Dillon (13 episodes, 1993-1994)

Danniella Westbrook ... Dawn Dillon (13 episodes, 1993-1994)
Imelda Staunton ... Susan (1 episode, 1994)
Sylvester McCoy ... Angus (1 episode, 1994)
Amanda Mealing ... Pavlina Kosteva (1 episode, 1993)
Bill Thomas ... Dennis (1 episode, 1994)

The following 10 minute excerpt is from the episode called "Babies" which was released in July 1994. Sadly, it doesn't contain vision of Charlie Condou but it is a good window into the show's production values. 

One reviewer in 2005 said 'Frank Stubbs Promotes' was a good show which slipped through the cracks because ITV were more intent on promoting A Touch Of Frost and Inspector Morse:
Frank Stubbs promotes was a comedy/drama much in the vein of "Minder" but without the double act. Frank is your classic down on his luck hero; in this case a promoter of actors, entertainers, sportsmen, you name it. He's broken away from his slimy boss/rival (played by Nick Reding in series 1) to be his own boss but each week, he'll either be befriending some other down on their luck has-been trying to make a comeback, or an aspiring newcomer with stars in their eyes. Added to that, Frank has his ex-wife and family to deal with, who all think he's a big loser. You couldn't help but feel sorry for Frank; he has big dreams and ambitions and genuinely wants to help everyone who comes to him, but he can't escape the fact that he's not a big time player in promotions and that he resorts to cheap, shoddy and cringeworthy publicity stunts. In series two, he begins a romance with the receptionist at a big promotions firm, and the tender romantic scenes are brilliantly played out by Spall and Carolyn Bradshaw.

GOODBYE TASMANIAN WORLD HERITAGE LISTING
Confidential_CC: Oz PM Tony Abbott has just been named leader of the FIBERALS - goodbye Tasmanian world heritage wilderness! 


LIAR LIAR
Confidential_CC: TONY ABBOTT HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUTH

NB. In the above video, former Liberal Prime Minister Mr. Malcolm Fraser, duly explains that Abbott constantly lies and can't be trusted to tell the truth over any issue!
It's not often that you see a former Prime Minister take umbrance with someone from his own political party!
ramjetski: @Tom_in_Oz_ Crikey! I finally agree with Malcolm Fraser on something! It must be raining toads. I'll have to check outside.
