That Was The Week That Was, also known as TW3, was a satirical television comedy programme that aired on BBC Television in 1962 and 1963.
This episode was transmitted on Saturday 20th April 1963
Special guest: society hairdresser Raymond Bessone

Devised, produced and directed by Ned Sherrin, the programme was fronted by David Frost and cast members included improvising cartoonist Timothy Birdsall, political commentator Bernard Levin, and actors Lance Percival, who sidelined in topical calypsos, many improvised in response to suggestions from the audience, Kenneth Cope, Roy Kinnear, Willie Rushton (then known as ‘William’), Al Mancini, Robert Lang, David Kernan and Millicent Martin. The last two were also singers and the programme opened with a song — eponymously entitled That Was The Week That Was — sung by Martin to Ron Grainer’s theme tune and enumerating topics that had been in the past week’s news. Off-screen script-writers included John Albery, John Betjeman, John Bird, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Peter Cook, Roald Dahl, Richard Ingrams, Gerald Kaufman, Frank Muir, Denis Norden, Bill Oddie, Dennis Potter, Eric Sykes, Kenneth Tynan, Keith Waterhouse and others.
The programme was groundbreaking in its lampooning of the establishment. Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was initially supportive of the programme, chastising the then Postmaster General Reginald Bevins (nominally in charge of broadcasting) for threatening to “do something about it”. During the Profumo affair, however, he became one of the programme’s chief targets for derision. After two successful seasons in 1962 and 1963, the programme did not return in 1964, as this was a General Election year and the BBC decided it would be unduly influential.
That’s the official version. In reality it was probably pulled because of the controversial episode broadcast in November 1963 the day after John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
At the end of each episode, Frost would usually sign off with: “That was the week, that was.” At the end of the final programme he announced: “That was That Was The Week That Was…that was.”
Historians have identified TW3 as breaking ground in comedy and broadcasting. Graham McCann said it challenged the “convention that television should not acknowledge that it is television; the show made no attempt to hide its cameras, allowed the microphone boom to intrude and often revealed other nuts and bolts of studio technology.” In the 1960s, this was unusual and gave the programme an exciting, modern feel. TW3 also flouted conventions by adopting “a relaxed attitude to its running time: loosely structured and open-ended, it seemed to last just as long as it wanted and needed to last, even if that meant going beyond the advertised time for the ending [...] the real controversy of course, was caused by the content.”
Its subject matter has also been praised. McCann says: “TW3…did its research, thought its arguments through and seemed unafraid of anything or anyone… Every hypocrisy was highlighted and each contradiction was held up for sardonic inspection. No target was deemed out of bounds: royalty was reviewed by republicans; rival religions were subjected to no-nonsense ‘consumer reports’; pompous priests were symbolically defrocked; corrupt businessmen, closet bigots and chronic plagiarists were exposed; and topical ideologies were treated to swingeing critiques.”

In 1979 Raymond Bessone’s 28-year old pregnant daughter was killed when, returning from a family wedding, she crossed a damaged section of the M4 motorway guard rail and slammed into an oncoming Porsche. The two people in the Porsche, Bessone’s daughter, her husband and two children, were all killed instantly in the horrific crash. Several weeks after the accident it was discovered that the male passenger killed in the Porsche was Brian Field, who had changed his name to Brian Carleton and was one of the organizers of the Great Train Robbery (1963).
