David Frost Vs... | Part One Preview (Sky Documentaries)

Drawing from Frost's archive of more than 10,000 era-defining interviews, many of which have been lost for a generation, the documentary takes viewers on an immersive journey through the most important moments of the late 20th century via Frost's personal and revealing conversations with the protagonists, with striking parallels to today.

This archive footage is supplemented by interviews with an extraordinary list of new contributors including Michael Sheen, Liam Neeson, Joanna Lumley, Khalilah Ali and Tony Blair who help uncover Frost’s incredible life and career as one of the nation’s most renowned television hosts and journalists.

Speaking about the commission Wilfred Frost, comments: “For the last decade since Dad died I have focused on accumulating more rights to his interviews and recovering and restoring lost footage, waiting for the right moment and partner to showcase it. That moment is now, and in Sky Studios and White Horse Pictures I feel blessed to have better partners than I could ever have dreamt of...

"While this series is based on Dad's archive of over 10,000 interviews - many of which have not been seen for decades - it is not a typical archive show. Every conversation is carefully selected to be staggeringly relevant today, and told by blockbuster names from The Beatles to Jane Fonda to Muhammad Ali to Richard Nixon...

"Working on this series has been a privilege - not just as Dad's immensely proud son, but also as a journalist - Dad had a front row seat as the most important moments of the 20th century unfolded, and it's time we share again the seminal conversations he had with the protagonists. I hope we've done Dad's legacy justice."

David Frost Vs... begins Sunday 23rd February on Sky Documentaries.
