A terrible shame, used to enjoy watching him on 'Breakfast with Frost' on Sundays, a legendary interviewer, both courteous and direct, he has inspired a generation of broadcasters.

RIP, and thank you.

Sad news. Remember watching him during the late 60s and early 70s. Even as a kid I enjoyed his interviewing style.

40 years. That's a long and respectable career.

Local TV aired an interview of Frost by Parkinson last night. Some interesting anecdotes. Fantastic to see two of the best interviewers of the past 40 years together.
