The Frank Cottrell-Boyce article has been merged into this one - his name appears without the hyphen on the cover of his children's novel, Millions. CarolGray 07:16, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

his age please —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.189.184.58 (talk • contribs) 26 June 2008

According to this interview, his oldest son (now 22) was born when Cottrell Boyce was himself 22, making him currently 44, or thereabouts. -- KittyRainbow (talk) 21:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He's the son of another Frank Boyce, a college lecturer and one of the very nicest men I ever met. I always wondered what became of Frank Senior. Apologies for the unencyclopedic nature of this remark. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.136.148 (talk) 23:40, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Surname[edit]

According to OLIS, surname is Cottrell Boyce, Frank rather than Boyce, Frank Cottrell. [1] --mervyn (talk) 14:22, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed, fixed. --mervyn (talk) 11:32, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

radio 4 is currently broadcasting a 5 part drama by him on saturdays called "one chord wonders" about people who where at an addicts gig 30 years ago and what happened to them.part 3 was on today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.70.134 (talk) 14:39, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
