Iun Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23920336 Perhaps best known in recent years because of the film Frost/Nixon, Sir David was a fixture of my childhood through Breakfast with Frost. He died aboard the cruise ship Queen Elizabeth of a heart attack at the age of 74.
Ramar Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 A fantastic broadcaster and a Gooner. RIP Sir David Frost.
Retro_Link Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I think I thought he was older than he in fact was. Sad news. Someone you don't really envisage passing away.
Jimbob Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Wow, bit shocked to hear of this. A good broadcaster, one will be sorely missed. R.I.P
Mr-Paul Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Rest in Peace. I remember always waking up as a child to watch Match of the Day on a Sunday morning, which was then followed by Breakfast with Frost. A brilliant journalist; I always thought he was older too, 74 is still relatively young. He will be missed, but always remembered.
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 As mentioned on Twitter, the day after Keith Lemon does Through the Keyhole Mr. Frost dies of a heart attack... Direct link? Maybe.
Rummy Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I don't know masses about his career except seeing him here and there(obviously my time was later on in his career), but he seemed to have a sense of humour and I understand he did wonders in the world of journalism. Something about him seemed so quintessentially British, real credit to the country.
gaggle64 Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 I too remember him fondly from breakfast With Frost and I have enormous respect for him continuing to ask hard questions until the very end with the excellent Al Jazeera English service. He contribution to journalism will never be in doubt.
