‘What other journalist can claim they’ve had a movie made about one of their interviews’ – Andrew Neil on David Frost

Today’s papers are full of tributes to the broadcaster David Frost, who passed away yesterday at the age of 74. I spoke to his friend and fellow broadcaster Andrew Neil this morning about his memories of the journalist as well as Frost’s broadcasting legacy:

Andrew discusses the last time he spoke to Frost and his upcoming plans for remaking The Dam Busters:

'I spoke to him in July at his party and we'd arranged to have a lunch this month. We were going to have a catch up and a good gossip. David wasn't just an entertainer, he wasn't just a broadcast journalist, he was an entrepreneur. Paradine Productions was his company and he was always involved in doing deals and thinking up new things.
