Frampton Swings With The Meatballs
Rock superstars rarely stoop to guest starring on TV series, and dashing Peter Frampton's appearance on Black Sheep Squadron illustrated why. For instead of knocking the battery off Robert Conrad's shoulder, rock's #1 glamourboy easily could have passed for one of Pappy's baaing Lambs.
Frampton's role was that of an English earl who owns a plantation on the Konga Isle (nicknamed England). Being a patriotic Limey, he displayed his colonialism by having a faithful native companion called King George as his boy Friday. While Peter maintained an Inn of Hospitality for the sick and the wounded, George would chitchat about how Americans talk funny and sweat a lot.
Each morning Frampton raised the British flag, sang "God Save The Queen," and then brewed his tea.
While overhead the Black Sheep fought with the Japs, Frampton (rooted to the soil) explained the art of pouring tea to downed pilots. "I'll be mother," he suggested, but quickly added,
"Uh.. .that's whoever pours the tea."
