David Frost in conversation with Peter Ustinov

When the show was transmitted in America earlier this year Variety called it "a landmark in sustained audience mesmerisation... Ustinov's early description of his four and a half years as a British Army private was a masterfully-delivered war story, complete with telling voice caricatures of all participants, and gloriously funny. His mimicry was evident all through the show whether it be his Mexican general, or a flute, bassoon, and cello or an ageing bishop forgetting his speech, or a ham opera singer or a car - all of them great."
