Thanks for pointing this out, I've binge watched the Frost episodes this afternoon and really enjoyed it. I'm surprised the shows haven't been hacked together into a Two Ronnies before they were the Two Ronnies compilation. Presumably it can't be cleared?
A three hour upload of news coverage from September 11.
00:00 BBC Six O'Clock News
20:30 BBC South Today (which must have seemed utterly inconsequential on the day)
25:30 'BBC News Special on BBC One and BBC News 24'
1:14:17 Recording switches to BBC Two, and another 'BBC News Special on BBC Two and BBC News 24'
1:15:27 Recording switches to ITV News with Kirsty Young
1:44:35 ITV1 Meridian ident before recording switches to the ITN News Channel

Maybe, I wonder if it belongs to ITV or David Frost's company Paradine? Not just the Two Ronnies either, that first episode has a pre-Python Palin too. Looking at the writing talent in later episodes there's some very famous names in there..... and Gerard Wiley of course.
On quality it certainly stands up to comparison with the Two Ronnies.
There was some material that was of its time ( racial and sexual stereotypes that were common several decades ago but distasteful now) but I would welcome a compilation of the remainder as a tribute to both Ronnies and Sir David. Despite not being very familiar with the politics of that era it didn't seem to lose much humour.
It deserves a wider audience than an obscure You Tube channel.
Behind the scenes of TV-AM's After Nine segment (and, I dare say, TV-AM as a whole) on Jayne Irving's last Monday, featuring lots of shots of the interior of Breakfast Television Centre at Camden Lock, in 1989:

Interesting to see behind the scenes, but can't stand her rambling on describing it. Would it really have been too hard to script it let alone record it and package it up nicely?

Evidently so. Comes across as a cheap filler.
TV-AM did a handful of these over the years, there's another one here with Anne Diamond and Nick Owen from 1985 and TV-AM's second birthday which was packaged better than the later After Nine one and they wheeled David Frost in as well for it):
Video Nation Shorts the day before Diana's funeral (although the footage is from the day she died). The general public video themselves and their thoughts and share them with the world. It'll never catch on…
This is from the same channel as the September 11 video I posted earlier in this thread, so might be worth keeping an eye on for more interesting uploads in the future.
