[edit] 2004 revival

The last line in this article currently reads: "ABC television in the U.S. is planning to revive That Was The Week That Was (http://abcnews.go.com/sections/primetime/Entertainment/Wanted_TW3_040702.html) for its new season of Primetime Live, beginning in September 2004."

Does anyone know if this revival actually occurred? We need to update this article. Fernando Rizo 02:01, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] David Frost in the US

What is the basis of David Frost exposure/popularity in the US in the 1960's? Presumably the famous UK BBC TW3 series were not seen by the US audience then. How famous/successful was the 1964-65 US version of the show? Exactly what was the role of David Frost in this version? Is this the basis of his exposure/popularity in the US? Where was the US version produced? Did Frost come to the US to participate? -69.87.204.114 11:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alternate Versions

Is it appropriate to lump these other shows - even the NBC edition - in this article? This article clearly has its focus on the important and influential BBC version of TW3. The American TW3 was an entirely different show, although Leland Hayward Productions did license the name and (general) format from the BBC, and employed David Frost on many of the shows. Clearly the NBC version gets inferior billing in this article, even though it ran considerably longer than the BBC version. The relationship of the other "alternate versions" is even more tenuous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.88.100.158 (talk) 03:16, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
