The programme originally began in this format on TV-am in September 1983 as Frost on Sunday and ran until the station lost its franchise at the end of 1992.
What is wrong with that Statement? Either way a lot of newspaper and compines are rather lazy gits ...
TV-am when it started was the reverse what we've come to know of as TV-am/GMTV, they had the hard news, with politics and interviews during the week, and the weekends were the soft and fluffy sofa shows, presented by Michael Parkinson and his wife Mary.

For all a matter of six weeks?
It seems Ann Dimonad on Sunday was swapped with David for a few months in 89 and 90.
IIRC he practically lived on airplanes at one point flying to and from the US/UK to make TV shows on either side of the pond.
He must have recorded all the shows in One day in US and UK and flew in Concorde
Unlikely, seeing as Concorde didn't enter passenger service until 1976
It must have been a real pain then, I take it Wednesday he recorded LWT shows fly of Thursday, Record Saturday/ Sunday for US shows and then back on the plain for Monday.
I've seen several newspapers report that between Frost on Sunday ending on TVAM and Breakfast with Frost starting on BBC1 that the programme went briefly to Sky.
However I seem to remember that the show ran until the last Sunday of 1992 on TVAM and then started the following week on BBC1.
I believe that BSB had rights to repeat the programme on its Now channel and this then continued on to Sky news.
Apart from the 1992 General Election I can't remember Frost having a regular programme on Sky.

Yes TVAM Frost show finished on 27 December 1992 and the following week on the 3 January 1993 he was on the BBC.
Now channel disappeared in 1990 so I wonder how long Sky news broadcast the repeats, I think in 1991 Sky news started doing the news for TVAM,
I only spotted a trailer for a Frost program on AJE yesterday or the day before so certainly he was still on their books. I didn't catch this new 'Keith Lemon' version of Through The Keyhole, I presume it's a bit less respectful of it's guests homes then it's predecessor would have been? Less of the book shelf and more of the knicker drawer, that sort of thing?
It was actually not as crude as it could have been and quite a decent version of the show for the era and time slot. The format was still intact and kept to (rather than a knock about Celebrity Juice type thing where it's basically just a mess about with a loose format). There was no more swearing and adult humour than any of the other post-watershed panel shows that are on air these days.
Exactly - it rated really well too - 5.5m, certainly far above ITV's expectations considering only one break contained any ads. As we've been reminded this week Sir David Frost was a great lover of comedy himself so he'd appreciate it for what it is, which is actually far better than you expect.

LMFAO Yeah I bet the man behind' that was the week that was' was a big Keith Lemon fan. I'm sure his bank manager was though.
