The Frost Report - Frost Over England Part 1

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.

Hey was that John Cleese cutting the cake?

[nedoflanders2]

Yes.

[AndrewJimScott]

I'm surprised you didn't also mention "Not only...But Also" or "The Goodies" in the best of british comedy.

[orwellson]

Wow. This is like the proto-Daily Show

Frost tried to do an American version of this, DAVID FROST REVUE, in the early 70s, but it was mediocre and only lasted a season.

I think that "man" who's pants fell down was played by a woman!

Not only is this written by 4 of the 6 pythons and john cleese acting as well, but marty feldman who acted with cleese and chapman in "At last its the 1948 show", is one of the writers.

Our family never missed an episode. I even had the LP: The Frost Report on Everything, and many bits you have shown were on the LP. I was able to watch parts 1,2,3,5, and 6; but wasn't able to find part 4. And in part 5 David starts out by saying "John Cleese as himself". I'm not sure but wasn't that just after the Classes Sketch which would have been in part 4? Thank you so much for sharing these. I can't for the life of me figure out why someone hasn't put the Frost Report on DVD.

Sadly Frost morphed into a toadying establishment arselicker.

[krelllabs]

That certainly was Cleese as the sentry with a hat problem.

I am now watching the Michael Pailin interview on BBC Hardtalk.
