British TV host Sir David Frost’s interview with erstwhile US President Richard Nixon has been voted television’s greatest broadcast ever.
The confrontation between the two, now known as the famous ‘Frost/Nixon interviews’, were recorded and broadcast on television in four programmes in 1977.
This interview was conducted three years after Nixon resigned following an impeachment over the Watergate scandal in 1974.
It inspired a play in 2006 and a Hollywood movie to be made in 2008 called Frost/Nixon starring Michael Sheen as British television broadcaster David Frost and Frank Langella as former United States President Richard Nixon.
The Radio Times, which carried out the readers' poll had the TV presenter saying that he was “thrilled to receive this accolade”, the Mirror reported.
