RIP Sir David Frost. Condolences to the family and friends.

A legend of television. The Frost Show was requisite viewing if you grew up in England in the 60s. RIP Sir David.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT ???????????????????

David Frost dead ?

Well if that isn't a premature death, I don't know what is. OMG.

Sincerest condolences to his family, I had the greatest respect for the man. A giant.

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

TW3, classic TV satire.





RIP Sir David.


"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

A legend since the swinging '60's,especially here in U.K.
R.I.P. David

Love and light to him, and thanks and praises

Always be remembered in North America for the breakthrough interview with Nixon. RIP

Very important television person. He was HUGE back in the day.

RIP

Great guy we saw him a lot on TV in Holland.....RIP

__________________________

The film "Frost/Nixon" is a great watch. He was the greatest of interviewers RIP

As much part of british pop cultural scene as any figure going.

Sad news. Frost was a respected journalist and interviewer. Rest in peace.

Definitely a premature death--very surprised to hear this. Part of the background to my life for a while there--RIP.

Pre-Python involvement:






With the Beatles:

"Hello, good evening and welcome".

RIP Mr Frost, a British institution.

And, of course, The Beatles being introduced as "the greatest tea room orchestra in the world"....





That was the Frost that was....

I used to adore this show. I don't see him in this episode, though, which part should I be looking at?

Yes, learn plenty watching that movie! Over here in the US, remember the plethora of guests he tackled on his shows. Sir David Frost had an array. Sudden death shocked us all, life is short. RIP!

‘Train-spotting’ means, quite literally, someone who spots trains for a hobby. They would stand at the train platform, ticking-off the trains as they went by. It’s perceived to be rather geeky, obsessive, and to the non-spotter, slightly weird. Today, the term is used more loosely to describe anyone or any act that seems to be a little geeky, and obsessive over any particular subject or hobby.

I remember "Frost over England" back in ´66: "The Rolling Stones composers Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are going to buried at Westminster Abbey - alive."
