HistoryThe Francie and Josie concept first appeared on The Five Past Eight Show in the Alhambra Theatre Glasgow during the 1958 season, and was a brainwave of Stanley Baxter, Stan Mars and Rikki Fulton. Over the season the idea grew and they refined the concept.[1] Often there would be a sketch from Francie alone and a sketch from Josie alone and then the two together at the end. In 1962 Scottish Television gave them their own show, The Adventures of Francie and Josie which also starred Clement Ashby, Glen Michael, and Ethel Scott (first wife of Rikki Fulton). The show became a hit, being broadcast by Anglia, Border Television, Grampian Television, Tyne Tees and UTV, and resulted in the pair appearing at the opening of many British Relay TV rental shops. The first shop they opened, in Airdrie, caused such mayhem that crowds smashed the shop windows.[1] In 1965 the last series was produced, with the pair returning to The Five Past Eight Show the following year. Both Jack Milroy and Rikki Fulton were given their own show on Scottish Television. The double act toured around Scotland and also created a Panto. During 1970 the pair did a successful tour around Northern Ireland. In 1970 they released an LP called Francie & Josie on PYE Golden Guinea. EpisodesOver its course 32 episodes were created between 1962 and 1965. No series was made in 1964 due to technician strike, but series 1 and 2 were repeated instead. Series 1: 1962The first series consisted of reworkings of the original stage scripts [1]
Series 2: 1963
Series 3: 1965
No copies of The Adventures of Francie and Josie are known to have survived. Much of Scottish Television's early output was wiped, and recorded over, a common practice in the television industry at the time.#.[2] Characters
RevivalsAfter success of the television series, the duo returned to the stage. Fulton suggested that he take over as scriptwriter as Mars was moving on to America. The latter agreed and gave Fulton licence to write the scripts.[1] Two revival shows were recorded at the King's Theatre, Glasgow, reuniting Fulton and Milroy; Francie and Josie (1989), which was broadcast on BBC Scotland, and The Farewell Performance (1996), which was direct-to-video. In 2015 a show called Francie & Josie: The Return toured Scotland starring Liam Dolan as Francie and Johnny Mac as Josie (credited as playing Milroy and Fulton, respectively).[4] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.scottishmusichallsociety.webs.com/stagedoorarticles0708.htm |title=Stagedoor|last=Marshall|first=Muriel|date=July 2008 |website=Scottish Music Hall Society|access-date=20 April 2016}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Francie and Josie}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/arts/news/francie-and-josie-among-bfi-lost-scots-tv-episodes-1-3146472 |title=Francie and Josie among BFI lost Scots TV episodes|last=Ferguson|first=Brian|date=17 October 2013|website=The Scotsman|access-date=20 April 2016}} 3. ^1 2 {{Cite book|title = Is It that time already?|last = Fulton|first = Rikki|publisher = |isbn = 9781902927022|location = |page =284 |year=1999}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-31503297 |title=Stage Show Tribute to Francie and Josie comedy act|last=Maclean|first=Pauline|date=17 February 2015|website=BBC|access-date=20 April 2016}} 9 : 1962 British television programme debuts|1965 British television programme endings|1960s Scottish television series|Scottish comedy duos|Scottish male comedians|Scottish television programmes|Television programmes produced by Scottish Television|English-language television programs|1960s British comedy television series |
