The Frost Report

1 9 6 6 (UK)

As the name suggests, The Frost Report featured David Frost and a team of comics comprising Ronnie Barker, John Cleese, Nicholas Smith, Ronnie Corbett, Tom Lehrer, Nicky Henson and Julie Felix.

The show used satire to poke fun at convention, authority, officialdom and current affairs. 

One of the best-known sketches from The Frost Report involved the tall Cleese looking down at Barker and Corbett, making observations on the division of social classes by referring to their height.

"I look up to him because he is upper class". 
"I look down on him because he is lower class". 
"I am middle class".
