TW3 has never been rivalled. I will never forget the programme they put on following the assassination of JFK. RIP David Frost.

Apparently he died of a heart attack on the Queen Elizabeth Cruise Ship , where he was going to give a speech !

It is quite strange though we were only talking with DD & SIL on Friday evening , about the film that was made about his interview with Nixon .

Spooky !

Yes Gracesmum, TWTWTW opened my eyes to the fact that authority and the establishment could be challenged. It was an exciting time, wasn't it?

I have just heard announcement of his death on the news. Only 74? I can remember TWTWTW from so many years ago as probably my first experience of grown up television, political satire and some wonderful sketches. Wonderful Millicant Martin, Lance Percival's calypsos and the cartoonist who died so young - was that Timothy Beardsall? sad
