MARION McMULLEN looks at how The Frost Report brought smart satire to our screens 60 years ago and ushered in a new era of comedy in the process
DREAM TEAM: Sir David Frost, left, and many of the cast and writers would go on to find further success on a variety of shows
SIR David Frost once said “Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home”.
His satirical comedy show The Frost Report launched on the BBC 60 years ago on March 10, 1966. The programme focused on a different subject each week and examined it with comic sketches.
