Face to Face 4 February 1959
The first of the classic television interview series Face to Face aired on 4 February 1959. Each episode featured an extended live interview with one guest, conducted by John Freeman. Interviewer and interviewee faced each other in an otherwise darkened studio. Close-up camera work showed the guest's reaction as Freeman – whose tenacity was known from his work on Panorama – interrogated them. The result was a popular programme that frequently produced dramatic and revealing interviews and created a high-watermark in serious television.
