From Tony Hancock to Martin Luther King, Yoko Ono to Salman Rushdie, Face to Face interrogated some of the key figures in 20th-century culture. From its start in 1959, to its return 30 years later, it pushed contributors into revealing places and gave insights into their characters. It reduced What鈥檚 My Line star Gilbert Harding to tears, and Evelyn Waugh into a sweating heap. It also saw Paul Eddington discussing the cancer that eventually killed him, and Edith Sitwell describing her connection to Dylan Thomas.

David Herman, who produced Face to Face on its TV return in 1989, takes us through his memories, including an emotional screening of Spielberg鈥檚 Schindler鈥檚 List with Jeremy Isaacs and meeting Yoko Ono at the Dakota hotel. David also recalls John Freeman鈥檚 groundbreaking original and explains why it was right to resurrect the show. He brings to life a programme that has firmly established itself in British TV history.
