More on The Frost Report
Description from Wikipedia:
The Frost Report was a satirical television show hosted by David Frost. It ran for 28 episodes from 1966. It is most notable for introducing John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett to television.
The main cast were David Frost, Ronnie Corbett, John Cleese, Ronnie Barker, Sheila Steafel and Nicky Henson.
The writing staff chosen for The Frost Report were, in many ways, the finest comedic minds of the 1960s United Kingdom, consisting of many writers and performers who would go on to make names for themselves in comedy. They included future Goodies members Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor, and also Frank Muir, Denis Norden, Barry Cryer, Marty Feldman, Ronnie Barker, Ronnie Corbett, Dick Vosburgh, Anthony Jay (Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister) and future Python members Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. It was while working on The Frost Report, in fact, that the future Pythons developed their unique writing styles that would become so significant later.
A special one-off episode was broadcast on Easter Monday (24 March) 2008. It ran for ninety minutes being followed by a full episode featuring the classic Cleese/Barker/Corbett class sketch.
