Whicker's World: The Best Of Whicker

A cultural icon, consummate interviewer and guiding light behind some of the most popular documentaries ever made, Alan Whicker's brand of charismatic, quietly incisive television journalism captivated audiences for six decades.Drawn from landmark series stretching from the late sixties to the early nineties, this set showcases the remarkable diversity of Whicker's output from encounters with modern Maharajahs to the bathroom billionaires of Palm Beach; from Europe's glittering aristocracy to the later twentieth century's most notorious dictators. Encompassing subjects ranging from Gay Lib to plastic surgery, Christian cults to cryonics, this collection represents factual television at its most compelling.Editions included are:Papa Doc the Black SheepWhicker in Stroessner's Paraguay The Last DictatorHarold Robbins I'm the World's Best WriterI'd Like to Think I'm Nearer to God than FrankensteinI Haven't Taken My Own Shoes Off for 45 YearsHe's Been Hunted All His Life - Now He's Going to Rest in PeaceI Wear a Uniform and Pack a Gun, But I'm Still a WomanIf a Cop Walked Around With Pink Hair and a Limp Wrist, it Would Discredit the DepartmentThe Aristocracy BusinessBoat PeopleDevil's IslandPixie-Dust on Goody-Goody LandVienna Come in, Dr Freud, all is ForgivenYou Stopped Being a Pigeon When You Got Your Throat CutCharleston, South Carolina You Used to Call Me Boy , Now You Got to Call Me Mr Boy Anchorage, Alaska the Ultimate Dream, the Last Chance to do it RightNothing is Utopia, this Comes Pretty CloseThe Absolute MonarchThe Road from Rose Linda's Alan Whicker Meets the Cats' Eyes ManThe American Lifestyle Immortality Inc.Prince Johannes Von Thurn Und TaxisHusbands Shy Clear of Me, Boy..!Tribes Lost and Found I Do My Duty When I Feel Like ItGod Forgive Me for What I've Done but it Was All Very EnjoyableThe Lord is My Shepherd, and He Knows I'm GayThe Most Beautiful Brainwashing There Ever Was...Houston: a Gun is a Funny AnimalLarge Sums of Money Have a Very Fusty SmellPalm Beach, Florida: How Can I Lie About My Age When My Son Needs a Facelift..?Even Though You're a Maharajah, You're a Human Being FirstHe'll Never Have to Divorce Me He Can Always Change Me...
