  1. He was raised in the Midlands.
  2. He was a member of the folk band named Telltale in the early 1970s and he co-wrote and performed the theme music for the British TV show for children called Rainbow (1972).
  3. Fraser has affirmed that during the behind-the-scenes program for the TV film Sharpe’s Challenge (2006), the makeup artists had to create a new “Wellington nose” for the new series after not being able to find the old one. He has gone on to disclose that he took the new one home with him when the shooting was done so that there would be no problem if another episode was planned.
