Hello, good evening and welcome.
Made at a time when Sir David was hosting a chat show in the US and then jetting back to the UK to do three shows over the weekend, FROST ON SUNDAY concentrates its energy on fifty minutes worth of light entertainment featuring numerous sketches from Ronnie Corbett, Ronnie Barker - who won a BAFTA for best Light Entertainment Performance - and Josephine Tewson (the latter two fresh from their stint on Hark at Barker). Amongst the shows many special guests are Rolf Harris, Matt Monro, Michael Bentine, Des O'Connor, Ted Ray, Kenneth Williams, Vincent Price and Michael Palin as Julie Andrews (aka L. F. Dibley).
A number of editions of Frost on Sunday no longer exist - this set includes the first show from 1968, which was the subject of a technical strike and so has no on-screen credits. The rest of the shows come from the second series in 1970, including the edition on 8th March 1970 where the team decamped from their Wembley studios to the London Palladium to present that year's British Film and Television Awards. Though it only exists in a slightly edited format, this special show features Laurence Olivier, Morecambe and Wise, Marty Feldman and John Alderton with the Fenn Street Gang (in character!).
A gem from the golden age of TV comedy this release will appeal to all fans of the genre.
A quiz show brought me here - Hot Seat question - what was Frosts welcome...

Hi,
I'm looking for the episode with Michael Dunn which I think was on Feb.3,1970. Do you know if this is available and where to find it? If you don't know that specific episode can you tell me where you found your clips.
Thank you
