In November
I David Frost was unknown: a month later he was one of the most famous people in the country. That Was the Week That Was, the satire show that emptied the pubs on Saturday night, put him on fast track to TV celebrity. In

Beccles "rose without trace", and now for 30 years has been at the centre of British TV.
This first film in a three-part television biography, subtitled The Rise and Rise of David Frost , explores the early years of the Frost phenomenon, with contributions from TW3 producer Ned Sherrin , from Frost's writing partner
Christopher Booker , and from Sir Antony Jay ,
Richard Ingrams and Willie Rushton.
The second programme forms part of BBC2's One Day in the 60s tomorrow at 7.30pm. Producer John Bush
