Whicker's World

Whicker's World is an award-winning British television documentary series which brought a glimpse of the exotic jet-set world into the UK's living rooms for more than 30 years, making journalist and broadcaster Alan Whicker one of the most recognisable faces in Britain. Originally a segment on the BBC's Tonight programme starting in 1958, Whicker's World became a fully-fledged television series in its own right on the BBC in 1965. In 1968 it moved to ITV, then returned to the BBC in 1984, and then finally ended back on ITV again in 1992.
