Frankie and Benji were actually two hyper intelligent pan galactic beings who took on the form of mice to control /observe the earth (which was really a computer program designed to find the ultimate question to which the answer was 42)
EDIT - I'm a bit of a nerd, I also have original radio series on BBC cassettes and LP records

the book is well worth a read, the tv show is okay, the film is diabolically bad.
never heard the radio show.

Read the book and saw the series many years ago, never saw the film - film trailers tend to show the best bits, and they were grim enough, so didn't bother.

IIRC the trailer showed the one funny bit in the entire film, as they so often do.
What they did was take out everything from the book that made it funny, then added a load of stuff that isn't funny at all. Similar to what the BBC do when they get a show that becomes popular. Because they don't understand the reasons why the show got popular in the first place.

BBC have a history of hitting upon something that proves popular, then keep battering the formula long after it's died. Examples being Are You Being Served, Last of the Summer Wine and Silent Witness.
