The information about David Frost is now correct. Previously there was information about Sir David Frost, the British television personality, who isn't the same David Frost who won the Grammy in 2000 for "Listen to the Storyteller" and in 2005 for Classical Producer of the Year.
-David Frost, record producer
- I added a new article: David Frost (Producer) with your info. please refrain from editing this page, and edit that one instead. --Silas Snider (talk) 04:55, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
I take it David Frost is the one facing more or less away from the camera? -- NC
- In response to the above year-old comment, I agree that is quite absurd that this photo should be used to illustrate the subject of the article when you can't even see his face. This image is as free as the current one. Can a registered user replace it please? 84.92.93.58 18:22, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
The 1977 Richard Nixon interviews dramatized in the play Frost/Nixon were not part of his regular scheduled program on American televison (which was produced by Group W - Westinghouse - and ran from 1969-72) as the article seems to indicate, but were a set of one-time specials syndicated to individual stations. 74.72.221.197 15:03, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Eoh, why does the article say first he was born at Beccles, Suffolk then at Tenterden, Kent?

David Frost (broadcaster) → David Frost — The broadcaster is the obvious primary topic here, he is one of the most well-known people in the UK and is famous in the US and other countries, so this page should be at David Frost. This article has over 100 incoming links (plus 70 articles that currently link to the disambigation page but are meant for the broadcaster). David Frost (golfer) has just over 20, the other two David Frosts have very few incoming links. —Saikokira 17:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Survey
- Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with
*'''Support'''or*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
- Support as nominator, also, 9 of the first 10 Ghits for "David Frost" are for the broadcaster. Saikokira 17:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Support - I agree with the nomination. Obviously just make a disambig page to cover the rest. So when search David Frost you come to the article and then have the option to click the for other uses see so and so. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 22:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Support - sounds sensible. Georgethe23rd 07:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Support - For reasons given in the nomination. The broadcaster is very well known compared with the others.--orlady 14:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Frost in the US
What is the basis of David Frost exposure/popularity in the US in the 1960's? Presumably the famous UK BBC TW3 series were not seen by the US audience then. How famous/successful was the 1964-65 US version of the show? Exactly what was the role of David Frost in this version? Is this the basis of his exposure/popularity in the US? Where was the US version produced? Did Frost come to the US to participate? -69.87.204.114 11:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Benazir Bhutto
I removed the paragraph on the Benazir Bhutto interview from the 'Criticism' section. Bhutto mentions 'Omar Sheikh' and says he 'murdered Osama bin Laden'. She apparently meant Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, and she meant to say he 'murdered Daniel Pearl'. She simply made a mistake. No conspiracy here. Chrisahn (talk) 20:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Oh, but I also dug up a few videos that document both Bhutto's mistake and the BBC's 'censorship' of it. Check out the versions of the article right before I removed the paragraph. Chrisahn (talk) 20:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
You can't assume what she meant. Thats bs. It wasn't a mistake. --Vehgah (talk) 00:38, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- If you know reliable sources saying Benazir Bhutto knew that Osama bin Laden is dead and knew who killed him, you should add them to the article on Benazir Bhutto. It has very little to do with David Frost. Chrisahn (talk) 10:27, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
That 'Omar Sheik' was arrested in 2002, why should she mention him? --roland_ro 04:14, 15 January 2008
