Whicker’s World Volume 4

Synopsis
A cultural icon, consummate interviewer and guiding light behind some of the most popular documentaries ever made, Alan Whicker’s quiet brand of incisive, insightful television journalism has enthralled audiences for the last six decades. In this volume Whicker turns his keen gaze at Australia, where he encounters more unconventional characters - from Nevadan ranchers to professional gamblers. His journey begins with a visit to Norfolk Island in the South Pacific - home to the descendants of the Bounty mutineers.
