Let's Face It is a Canadian current affairs television series which aired on CBC Television in 1963.
Let's Face It was originally produced as a regional show on CBMT Montreal, concerning topics within Quebec. In 1963, the Montreal-produced series was expanded for a network-wide audience and examined national and international events of note. Correspondents of the network-wide version of Let's Face It were located in most of CBC's major production locations throughout Canada.[1]
The series was inspired by BBC's That Was the Week That Was and incorporated elements of satire and music. As such, it was a forerunner of CBC's This Hour Has Seven Days.[1]
Peter Desbarats and Pauline Julien were among the contributors who appeared during the series, which presented both English and French personalities.[2] Interview subjects included Simone de Beauvoir, John Grigg, Arthur Koestler, Anthony Sampson and Jean-Paul Sartre.
