Harry Pye loved watching television in the 1970s and 80s. There were just 4 channels and most people you knew watched the same shows.

Sir David Frost (1939 - 2013) once observed that "Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home." I liked the fact he did cheesy TV shows like, Through The Keyhole but of course his big achievement was to interview 8 British Prime Ministers and 7 U.S presidents. Sir David Frost once phoned Peter Cook and asked if he'd care to join Prince Andrew and himself for dinner. Cook replied: "Checking my diary I find I'm watching Television that evening."
