RIP Sir David Frost

Legendary broadcaster Sir David Frost has died of a suspected heart attack on a cruise ship, aged 74.

Frost's career as a television broadcaster spanned 50 years. Programmes he presented include That Was The Week That Was, The Frost Report, Breakfast With Frost and Through the Keyhole. He was a presenter, writer, producer, journalist, comedian and game show host. However, he was best known internationally for his controversial interview with Richard Nixon in 1977, which spawned a play and film, both named Frost/Nixon. He launched the careers of comedy legends John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett.

RIP Sir David - a sad loss of a great broadcaster.

 

Now that wasn't expected. What a place to have a heart attack too. You'd think you'd be at your most releaxed on a cruise. Sad

 

Probably happened after he saw the new series of "Through the keyhole" with Keith Lemon. RIP indeed.

 

My mum's best friend is currently on that ship. Tells me it was mayhem after it happened. Very sad.

 

On the plus side, his travel insurance may well cover funeral expenses! Common thing for OAPs to do.

 

what? Keith Lemon now does through the keyhole?

 

Yeah, the first episode aired at the weekend... or Through T'Keyhole, as he calls it. He plays both parts.

It's stupid and the hints are really obvious, but at the same time, I guess he does lend a bit of comedy to the format. Still, it's not the same if you're a fan of the traditional format.

Dunno how long this will last.. watch while you can!

Thanks man. I do enjoy the Keith Lemon character. He's dirty, rude and just stupid but still appealing in a way.
