The David Frost Show (1969-1972) Digitized by DC Video

Thanks to our esteemed client, Reelin’ In The Years Productions, The David Frost Show which was syndicated from 1969 -1972 has become more available than ever! The show was previously handled by CTV (CBS) and now is exclusively handled by Reelin’ In The Years on behalf of The Estate Of David Frost (Paradine Productions). 

These pictures are from the digitization of this series (1969-1972). Source material is 2" Quad videotape. All images shown, unless otherwise noted, are from the unusual Quad speed of 7.5 ips. Yes, high-band color at 7.5! Each preserved show is a 2" to 2" dub.

After viewing these images, you will agree: This is one of the finest collections of television programming ever created, recovered and preserved!
