Franklin Lawrence "Frank" Pickle, dubbed (by the News writers) as The Most Boring Man in Britain, is the dull but friendly Parish Secretary. He insists on writing down the most boring of minutes that need not be noted. He is bisexual as he has admitted to having a crush on Owen Newitt and Margaret Beckett. He came out as gay on Dibley radio, but unfortunately, nobody was listening except the Vicar Geraldine Granger, who was with him at the time.
