Chris Sievey, the man responsible for creating Frank Sidebottom,, has died.

I will always remember Frank from the Channel 4 programme "Remote Control" and of course, more recently, the Channel M test card.

Anyone remember the overnight live-action testcard he did on Channel M? It was posted here a while back.

EDIT: Ah, re-read the first post now. Already mentioned.
