That Was The Week That Was
Overview
That Was the Week That Was, commonly known as TWTWTW or TW3, aired on BBC Television from 1962 to 1963, showcasing a sharp satirical edge. Created and directed by Ned Sherrin, with David Frost as the charismatic host, the show became a hallmark of the early 1960s satire movement in the UK. It boldly mocked the political landscape, particularly during the tumultuous Profumo affair, with John Profumo himself becoming a focal point for ridicule. The program debuted on November 24, 1962, and inspired an American adaptation on NBC from 1964 to 1965, also featuring Frost.
