Psychoanalysis on TV

In only four years,... Emma Freud, great-granddaughter of the legendary psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, has fast become one of the country's most immediately familiar and increasingly popular TV faces, hosting a score of or as-live magazine and current-affairs programs.... In August 1987, when London Weekend Television started its late-night youth magazine program,... Emma Freud was an obvious choice for one of the program's more outr6 features. And Freud undoubtedly will find herself hitched for many years to come to the talk show she hosted every weekend for Night Network, taped as live in the afternoon (absolutely no cuts whatsoever) and broadcast to the nation at 2:30 A.M. Which is not to imply that the improbably successful Pillow Talk, in which she interviewed her guests in bed, should be anything to be ashamed of. European Travel and Life (July/August 1989)
