The Frost Report - Frost Over England Part 2

Indeed "The Frost Report" is one of the greatest influences in comedy along with "That Was The Week That Was" (or "TW3" or "TWTWTW") and "The Goooooooonnn Show". Sadly this is the only episode I have, and this was from a very recent repeat, which does have some tatty editing to the credits, but still it's better than nothing. This episode won the "Golden Rose of Montreaux" in March 1968, so why is this not on DVD yet!!! Also look out as I'll be uploading my recent find of 2 original episodes of "That Was The Week That Was" also with Sir David Frost.

Sigh. Where did the British Talent for satire and the absurd go?  Thank you for this window into the earlier years of the Great Golden Age of British Comedy.

The sheer brilliance of English comedy. Men in fine suits doing spectacularly absurd thing...all while making fun of their government and their society. :-)
