Product Description
Synopsis
David Frost is a diverse, long-lasting and innovatory performer on TV. From his earliest days on "That Was The Week That Was" - the show which turned TV in a new direction - to his recent interviews of presidents and prime ministers he has never been far from the centre of events. This autobiography gives the author's own account of the foundation of London Weekend TV and the beginnings of his business interests. But it is in interviewing that David Frost has made an impression and in this book he describes encounters with Moshe Dayan, Sir Oswald Mosley, Cardinal Heenan, Rupert Murdoch, Jane Fonda, Jesse Jackson and Adam Clayton Powell. They also illuminate some of the great questions of his time - drugs, racism, the decline of religious faith - and capture the moods of England and America in the 1960s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hello, Good Evening & Welcome to the review..., 16 Aug 2001
This autobiography covers Frost's early life, his big break, and his move to the USA and concentrates on the 60s.

Funny, interesting read, what comes across is the ambition, sense of humour and showmanship of this Methodist Preacher's son.

Some brilliant interviews are recalled; Enoch Powell was an outstanding example of how Frost used to confront the guests he simply didn't like with what he regarded as facts (he comes across as a dyed-in-the-wool liberal).

Even more of a revelation to someone of my generation born after this period was the breadth of his achievement to tape 5 U.S. shows and 2 U.K. shows every week, to set up L.W.T and be instrumental in introducing Britain to the likes of Peter Cook, Ronnie Barker etc is mind boggling.

Fascinating read. Highly Recommend it.

(Will the 2nd volume explain why he is wasted presenting banal game shows like through the keyhole on daytime TV I wonder??)
