Whicker’s World Volume 5

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 explores aspects of the Caribbean and Florida.
