Launched in 1952, Frankly Speaking was a novel, ground breaking ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ series. Unrehearsed and unscripted, the traditional interviewee/interviewer pairing was initially jettisoned for three interviewers - later two - firing direct questions. Early critics demanded it was axed, but the format won out and eventually won over detractors.
First broadcast on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Service in June 1962.
