TW3 Henry Brooke

[sail1948]

How did Frost make the transition from anarchist to establishment arselicker?

Ouch! Thanks for posting this. I had to look up some of the details - Soblen, Pascoe and Whitty, for example, but that's no bad thing. All in all this is a lovely piece of social history.

I do wish they'd release some of TW3 on DVD. There could always be captions occasionally to explain the background, as there were when some compilation episodes were screened for the thirtieth anniversary in 1993.

Is he impersonating Cronkite?

Just awesome political satire - I believe that it was instrumental in Mr. Brooke's removal as Home Secretary. Thank you so much for putting this on YouTube.

I don't think it helped in the 1966 General Election ---- he lost his seat
