[quote=BBC News]Veteran broadcaster Sir David Frost has died at the age of 74 after a suspected heart attack while on board a cruise ship.
A family statement said he had been giving a speech aboard the Queen Elizabeth on Saturday night.
Sir David's career spanned journalism, comedy writing and daytime television presenting, including The Frost Report.
Internationally, he will be remembered for his revealing interviews with former US President Richard Nixon.
A statement said: "His family are devastated and ask for privacy at this difficult time. A family funeral will be held in the near future and details of a memorial service will be announced in due course."
...
The Frost Programme for ITV followed, which saw Sir David move away from comedy into in-depth interviews with political figures, royalty and celebrities.
It was on this programme that he had a terse interview with then prime minister Margaret Thatcher over the sinking of the Argentine cruiser Belgrano during the Falklands conflict.
At the same time, Sir David began work on The David Frost Show in the US.
He later conducted a series of interviews with Mr Nixon, who had resigned the presidency two years earlier, in which the former president came close to apologising to the public for his role in the Watergate scandal.
Their exchanges were eventually made into a film - based on a play - which saw Michael Sheen portray Sir David Frost to Frank Langella's Nixon. Sir David himself appeared at the premiere of the film in 2008. [/quote]BBC article has a video as well.
Such a shame, but I think 74 is a good age to go at. RIP.

And until somebody comes forward saying they were molested by him.

If they dedicate it to him, I think it's the icing on the cake of a horrible insult.

Please say this doesn't exist. Through The Keyhole was a childhood guilty pleasure.

It does unfortunately, and I too have memories of watching Through The Keyhole waiting until CBBC came on BBC 1 in the afternoon. I remember thinking Lloyd Grossman sounded like a posh wanker.
74 isn't that old, really.

You've essentially just posted a picture of what happens when you have a heart attack.

Why can't I find anything better than the stupid CSI bit? Ignore that for me.
This is amazing.
