A television icon and by all accounts a very nice man.

A quality presenter, journalist and writer ended his days with a quality news channel - will be sorely missed. RIP

The end of an Era now David Frost has gone.  He epitomised the 60s/70's and was the one whose programme brought political satire to the T.V.    A sad day.

Very sad, I well remember 'That was the Week That Was'  and that weird flick in the front of his hair. I loved that prog with Millicent Martin while I babysat on Saturday nights. Great man.
