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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½, the fun she had in swinging London and how she came to be branded 'the thinking man's crumpet'.
