AND WORTH EVERY PENCE:

ITV recaptures Frost with £3m handcuffs (PAUL REVOIR,15th June 2007, Daily Mail)

Sir David Jason has signed a £3million three-year "golden handcuffs" deal with ITV which will see him return in A Touch of Frost.

Despite suggestions that he would never again play Detective Jack Frost, the 67-year-old star has agreed to reprise the role for two more episodes.

It's not like there's such a surplus of good television that we can afford to have him alive and not playing his best role.
