Comcast-owned Sky’s Sky Documentaries and its streaming service Now will give viewers a front-row seat for an exploration of recent history and topics that have shaped it, along with big names that played key roles in it – all through the eyes of legendary journalist and interviewer Sir David Frost. On Thursday, it unveiled a documentary series with the working title The Frost Tapes, which will start airing later this year.

The series will explore social, political, and cultural change via Frost who had a front-row seat to it all, “unveiling a fresh perspective on today through the battles of yesterday,” according to a plot summary.
