Sir David Frost presented the 500th and last edition of Breakfast With Frost on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ ONE today (Sunday 29 May).
Μύ
Tributes were paid to Sir David by former Prime Minister Lady Margaret Thatcher and current Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Μύ
Margaret Thatcher said: "David practically invented the searching interview. He goes out from Breakfast With Frost as he came in, at 499 not out with one ball to play - a giant of his profession."
Μύ
Tony Blair said:
"David's style of interviewing was often extremely deceptive because as I found to my cost on many occasions, although the questioning was always courteous, he nevertheless managed to get reams of information out of you, probably more than the average politician intended, certainly in my case often more than I intended, and it's great to know that David's going to go on and do other things which I'm sure he'll do brilliantly. And Breakfast With Frost is going to be missed."
Μύ
Former Prime Minister John Major and former Labour leader and former Vice-President of the EU Commission Lord Neil Kinnock were interviewed on the programme.
