I remember 'Freddie and the dreamers' on a kids show called 'Little big time.'

[Buenchico]

I suspect that their appearances on children's TV shows (such as the one you mention and Blue Peter in my video) came about because the producers wanted to seem 'with it' but definitely didn't want any controversial acts appearing, such as the Rolling Stones. Freddie and the Dreamers were seen as 'safe' family entertainers.

at least one other Freddie has played a significant role in English hisotry

(with the proviso that he was really an Andrew; the Fred nickname came from Flintstone)

[Buenchico]

But who will be the English hero against the Ozzies this year, Jno?

We'll need one or two because it's going to be a really tough battle!

Mercury was not a Freddie either, he was a Farrokh.

[Caran]

Freddie of the dreamers wife was a sewing machinist who worked with my mother many many years ago, while freddy was a dreamer!

[Buenchico]

That would qualify for the 'top tenuous' on Chris Evans' show, Caran!
