BBC Radio 4 - The Frost Tapes, Michael Caine

Beloved actor Michael Caine tells his story over several interviews with David Frost.

One of the most prolific actors of our time, Michael Caine tells his story over several interviews with David Frost.

David Frost was the 20th century’s most prolific interviewer, a master of conversation with a remarkable talent for getting people to open up and spill their souls. Many of his conversations, however, have been lost - until now. Presented by his son, broadcaster Wilfred Frost, The Frost Tapes joins David as he interviews the greatest entertainers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

One of the most prolific actors of our time, Michael Caine survived the Blitz of London during the Second World War as a child, fought in the Korean War himself and then spent years struggling to make it as an actor. Here’s the story of how a plain-spoken cockney boy became one of the world's greatest headliners.
