From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Framilode is a village on the banks of the River Severn in Gloucestershire, England, in the parish of Fretherne with Saul. It consists of two settlements: the larger, Framilode, is at the mouth of the River Frome. The smaller settlement, Framilode Passage, lies about 0.5 mile downstream.

The name, first recorded in the 7th century, means “Frome crossing point”, probably signifying a crossing of the Severn by the mouth of the Frome. However by the 16th century the ferry was further downstream at Framilode Passage, and the ferry across the Severn here continued in occasional use until the Second World War.

Jonathan Boseley, general manager of BT TV content, said: “We’re delighted that Saul has decided to set up his UK office…in Saul! We’re hoping he makes an appearance at our iconic phone box, but if he doesn’t we’ll just have to follow this quirky character on our screens from Tuesday on AMC, exclusive to BT customers.”
The UK network premiere of “Better Call Saul” will be exclusive to BT customers in the UK on the AMC channel – on BT TV channel 332 from Tuesday 27 June.
