That Was The Week That Was Pt3

Also known as TW3, this was a satirical BBC programme shown in a series of 23x50mins (24/11/62 to 27/04/62) and 14x50mins in (28/09/63 to 28/12/63), produced by Ned Sherrin and presented by David Frost. The programme was groundbreaking in lampooning the establishment. The Profumo affair became one of the targets for derision. Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was initially supportive of the series. Script-writers included John Betjeman, John Bird, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Peter Cook, Roald Dahl, Frank Muir, Denis Norden, Bill Oddie, Dennis Potter, Eric Sykes and Keith Waterhouse. The most acclaimed edition was broadcast 23/11/63, the day after the assassination of JFK. This shortened 20-minute edition, with no satire, was screened on NBC in the US the following day. NBC also broadcast its' own version of TW3, initially a pilot (10/11/1963), then as a series (10/01/64 to 05/65), featuring Frost. The pilot featured Henry Fonda and Gene Hackman. The regular cast included Alan Alda and a guest was Woody Allen.
