David Nixon may refer to:
David (/ˈdeɪvɪd/; Hebrew: דָּוִד, Modern David, Tiberian Dāwîḏ;ISO 259-3 Dawid; Arabic: داوُد Dāwūd; Syriac: ܕܘܝܕ Dawid; Ancient Greek: Δαυίδ; Latin: Davidus, David; Strong's: Daveed) was, according to the Books of Samuel, the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel, and according to the New Testament, an ancestor of Jesus. His life is conventionally dated to c. 1040 – 970 BCE, his reign over Judah c. 1010–970 BCE.
The Books of Samuel, 1 Kings, and 1 Chronicles are the only Old Testament sources of information on David, although the Tel Dan Stele (dated c. 850–835 BCE) contains the phrase בית דוד (bytdwd), read as "House of David", which many scholars confirm to be a likely plausible match to the existence in the mid-9th century BCE of a Judean royal dynasty called the House of David.
Depicted as a valorous warrior of great renown, and a poet and musician credited for composing much of the psalms contained in the Book of Psalms, King David is widely viewed as a righteous and effective king in battle and civil justice. He is described as a man after God's own heart in 1 Samuel 13:14 and Acts 13:22.
Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974 when he became the only U.S. president to resign the office. Nixon had previously served as a U.S. Representative and Senator from California and as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961.
Nixon was born in Yorba Linda, California. After completing his undergraduate studies at Whittier College, he graduated from Duke University School of Law in 1937 and returned to California to practice law. He and his wife, Pat Nixon, moved to Washington in 1942 to work for the federal government. He subsequently served on active duty in the U.S. Navy Reserve during World War II. Nixon was elected to the House of Representatives in 1946 and to the Senate in 1950. His pursuit of the Hiss Case established his reputation as a leading anti-communist, and elevated him to national prominence. He was the running mate of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican Party presidential nominee in the 1952 election. Nixon served for eight years as vice president. He waged an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1960, narrowly losing to John F. Kennedy, and lost a race for Governor of California to Pat Brown in 1962. In 1968 he ran again for the presidency and was elected when he defeated Hubert Humphrey.

A *very* rare complete episode of the BBC version of "What's My Line?", hosted by Eamonn Andrews-- virtually the entire 1950s BBC series is lost. Thanks to the help of several viewers in the comments, I think we can safely peg this show as having aired on Oct. 5, 1957. Many thanks to darijoe, dizzyology and Save theTPC for helping figure this out! MYSTERY GUEST: Denis Compton (Cricket player) PANEL: David Nixon, Isobel Barnett, Barbara Kelly, Gilbert Harding Many thanks to Matthew Coniam, a friend who very kindly sent this to me all the way from the UK. Matthew, not incidentally, is the author of a brand new book on the Marx Brothers which I can't recommend highly enough: "The Annotated Marx Brothers: A Filmgoer's Guide to In-jokes, Obscure References, and Sly Details". This is easily ...
A very early appearance of Paul Daniels on The David Nixon Show. This is the full episode and Paul appears around 19minutes in. It is interesting to see the difference in styles of the two magicians. David is the relaxed gentleman magician and Paul is firing on all cylinders. As with all these classic old magic shows - please forgive the poor video quality.
“ This time it is the Civil Service that becomes the arena for Norman's battle for justice. Lana Morris (as Penny) is once again the lady of the moment in this story about a negotiating team travelling to a strategic island in the South Seas. The humour is more sophisticated than the outright slapstick of its predecessors as the British Establishment and its haughty traditions are the target of this feel good, funny film about the Foreign Office. It must have struck a chord if it featured in Cilla Black's 'Room 101' TV appearance." Norman Wisdom, born in Marylebone, London on the 4th February 1915 had a hard childhood and often attributed his salvation to the British Army. After being a coal miner, waiter and a cabin boy he enlisted as a drummer in the King's Own Royal Regiment where he g...
