Sir David Frost’s activities during his career have been so diverse that he has been described as a “one man conglomerate”. It is easy to see why: host and co-creator of That Was the Week That Was, producer of countless television programmes from A Gift of Song: The Music for UNICEF Concert to the Spectacular World of Guinness Records; author of 15 books; producer of eight films (including the recent Rogue Trader with Ewan McGregor and Anna Friel); publisher, lecturer, impresario and the joint founder of London Weekend Television and TV-am. Not to mention the fact that he is perhaps the best known television interviewer in the world. “He is the only person to have interviewed the last seven Presidents of the United States and the last six Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom” – The Times.
His Nixon Interviews achieved “the largest audience for a news interview in history” - New York Times. In addition to their unprecedented impact in the United States, the interviews were also seen - either in English or dubbed into local languages - in almost every television nation in the world. Peter Morgan's play, "Frost/Nixon", achieved great success in London and trasnfers to Broadway in 2007. Ron Howard is adapting the story for film.
In 2000 the BBC devoted an evening of programmes to celebrating "Forty Years with Frost". The first volume of his autobiography From Congregations to Audiences published by HarperCollins became an immediate bestseller.
Sir David has been awarded many major television awards and in 1993 he was knighted by HM The Queen in the New Year’s Honours List.
