When Frost Met Bakewell: Joan Bakewell at 80
Pioneering broadcaster Joan Bakewell is interviewed by David Frost, looking back on more than 50 years at the heart of television and a life often lived in the glare of celebrity.
Pioneering female Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ broadcaster of the 1960s, Joan Bakewell subjects herself to an interrogation by David Frost, looking back on more than 50 years at the heart of television and a life often lived in the glare of celebrity. From her early years as the face of Late Night Line Up, the end-of-the-day live programme that broke the rules of polite television, through to her days on Newsnight, covering arts, entertainment, politics and even pornography, this no-holds barred interview recalls how it was to be a lone woman at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ, the fun she had in swinging London and how she came to be branded 'the thinking man's crumpet'.
