The return of Frank Sidebottom?

Way back in the 80s there was a character on TV with a big, round papier-maché head called Frank Sidebottom. I don't recall exactly what he did or what he was in, aside from starring in the Saturday morning childrens' programme "Number 73". I was browsing the Swedish TV website today when I saw a picture of what seems to be Frank - well a painted head looking exactly the same in any case. The video-clip only shows the character for a moment, so I've no idea if there's any link to the character who appeared on the British TV all those years ago.
