Frank Stubbs Promotes (alternative title: Frank Stubbs) is a British comedy drama series by Simon Nye, that starred Timothy Spall, Lesley Sharp, Danniella Westbrook, Choy-Ling Man, Anne Jameson, Nick Reding, Trevor Cooper and Roy Marsden. Two series were produced and developed by Noel Gay Television and Carlton Television and was broadcast on ITV between 12 July 1993 and 15 August 1994.[1] The series was adapted from Nye's earlier novel 'Wideboy' which was published by Penguin Books in 1991.[2][3] The series focusses on the misadventures of Frank Stubbs, a down-at-heel ticket tout turned promoter, whose elaborate business ideas often lead to mediocre results and cause disappointment for himself and his unfortunate clients.
The series one theme song was “Business” and series two "On My Way Up", both by Brian May.[4]
