hope he didn't get his heart attack after seeing the mess that idiot Keith Lemon probably made of his show 'through the Keyhole'

I was in bed last night and it came on, switched off very soon.

 

Nothing against Lee Francis, but I cannot be bothered with his Keith Lemon character.

Me neither but "Through the Keyhole" was not David Frost's finest work. 

 

I think to the post baby boomer generation and younger, David Frost seemed a bit of a lightweight Alan Partridge style, blazer wearing hack.  His finest work being before the 80s when he was at the height of his powers in satire, interviewing and politics.  His career was bit like Michael Caine's, in the respect that he wasn't too discerning about the quality of the work he took on in his latter years.

 

Through the Keyhole has rubbish Keith Lemon written all over it.  A clear step down for David Frost, probably a step up for Leigh Francis. 

 

Still, back in the day, David Frost, a great talent. RIP

 Why ITV keep giving this Lemon bloke  air space is anyone's guess 

Because ITV like idiots!
