Sir David Frost’s activities during his
career have been so diverse that he has been described as a “one
man conglomerate”. It is easy to see why: host and co-creator
of That Was the Week That Was, producer of countless television
programmes, author of 15 books; producer of eight films, publisher,
lecturer, impresario and the joint founder of London Weekend Television
and TV-am. Not to mention the fact that he is perhaps the best known
television interviewer in the world. His Nixon Interviews achieved
“the largest audience for a news interview in history”
But landmark interviews have always been a feature of Sir David’s
remarkable career. Among the many world figures that he has interviewed
are the seven most recent British Prime Ministers the seven most
recent Presidents of the United States in addition to countless
statesmen, world leaders and celebrities.
Sir David Frost has been awarded all the major television awards
- the Emmy Award (for The David Frost Show - twice); the Royal Television
Society Silver Medal and the Richard Dimbleby Award in the UK and,
internationally, the Golden Rose of Montreux. He was knighted by
HM The Queen in the New Year’s Honours List of January 1993.
Sir David now presents a weekly show, “Frost Over The World”,
for Al Jazeera English and continues to make “Frost Tonight”
weekly for ITV and “The Frost Interviews” for BBC. He
has taken Through The Keyhole into its 21st year, has recorded “The
Frost Years” for Radio 4 and is Executive Producing a remake
of the film, “The Dambusters” with Universal and Peter
Jackson.
