  • Through the Keyhole is a panel game, hosted by Sir David Frost where panellists are given a video tour of a mystery famous guest's property and attempt to identify them. As of 1995 it is produced by David Frost's own production company, Paradine Productions at The Leeds Studios (having originally been produced by Yorkshire Television), and has been on air since 3 April, 1987. It first aired on ITV from 3 April, 1987 to 19 June, 1994 with a special that aired on 1 May, 1995, then moved jointly to Sky One from 22 February, 1996 to 23 December, 1996 and then moved to BBC One since 7 April, 1997. At the start of each episode, Frost introduces a panel of three celebrities, with the catchphrase "And what a panel they are.... " and some gently humorous or mocking descriptions. He then hands over to the location presenter who gives the panellists a guided tour of the property, noting particular items, though there is typically a large amount of misdirection involved as the items pointed out by the presenter are not necessarily the most pertinent clues to the person's identity. Items not specifically mentioned may provide much more useful clues. Once completed, Frost reveals the identity of the guest to the audience, and the panel are given turns at guessing their identity. The audience participate with varying degrees of clapping according to the accuracy of the panellists' guesswork. The panellists are either successful at identifying the guest, or Frost has to reveal their identity, after which they are interviewed and given a key-shaped trophy as a memento. Starting during Catherine Gee's reign as location presenter, the geographic spread of the properties was extended with one of the properties on each show being located in the US and one in Europe. When Stefanie Powers took over her role in 2007, she was based in the US and conducted the US property tours, whilst UK based Lisa Snowdon conducted the European property tours.
