Broadcaster Sir David Frost dies

I thought he was older than 74 :doh ... I guess it must be me who is wrong and not his family! :rolleyes:

Everyone's saying that, I think because Frosty was on TV since the early 1960s but he was just out of university at that point. He also aged quite rapidly over the past 10 or 15 years.

His passing is a sad loss to journalism and I was dismayed to see him present Through The Keyhole in the 80s. Someone who can fillet a US president and a slippery one at that - Nixon wasn't known as Tricky Dicky for nothing - deserved better than presenting a show about nosing around someone's house, whatever the paycheque.
