Tribute to JFK following Assassination
TW3 usually featured hilarious but biting satire. David Frost brought his very British view of happenings in the news from around the world. It was a combination of Saturday Night Live and the 6:00 o'clock news. This one date was a complete departure from the usual format except in the quality and creativity of the writing. Even though I haven't seen it in almost 45 years, I can clearly remember the impact of the show. On this one date, the program didn't play for laughs. It was a complete tribute. I've been looking for it for years and didn't realize it was available. The most interesting piece was a vignette that featured only the fingers of a hand being used as a puppet on a black background. It is impossible to describe, but it totally captured the horror, sadness, and respect felt by virtually everyone. Anyone who is at all interested in history, should have a copy of this show.
