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.
