A speaker on danish natinal tv tonite as talkover during end titles of reissue of "A Touch of Frost" Episode 1, claimed that the estimated british actor David Jason - aka Inspector Frost - is dead. No information to confirm anywhere else.
Anybody know ?

Per, I had a quick look at teletext and didn't see any mention. I'd assume the continuity announcer was probably referring to the character 'Frost' as I believe he was killed off. As far as I know, 'Del Boy' is still with us!

Still believe, he's there - and still hope for more episodes of "Frost", but annoncer's word - translated as good as I can:
"For a lifetime one of Britain's most beloved actors - now passed away..." - Guess, the speaker took Frost for Morse...

Victory !

When running the next episode in a raw of "Frost"-re-runs, the same speaker "went in over" the first frames, telling "And now, a very live Mr Frost takes us to....."
It helps, sendng those broadcast stations wicked mails now and then... [Wink]
