Frost on Saturday

Synopsis

This two DVD set presents the lighter side of David Frost’s interview programmes. Whereas FROST ON FRIDAY concentrated on current affairs and politics, this programme featured mainly topical interviews with entertainers and public figures, along with musical interludes from the likes of the Rolling Stones and John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Other guests include Edna Everage, George Best, Frankie Howerd, Dusty Springfield, Sir John Betjeman and more.

A number of editions of FROST ON SATURDAY no longer exist: this set includes the seven surviving shows, including a special programme from November 1969 to celebrate the history of broadcasting on the first official night of colour transmissions on ITV.
