Whicker’s World Volume 6

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. This volume sees TV’s most travelled man making landfall in Asia. Whicker takes a look at Thailand’s more extreme sporting activities, and considers the dominant role of women in the Thai business world; he spends time among Hong Kong’s Boat People, meets the Chinese movie mogul whose action sagas put Hollywood in the shade, and asks what the future holds for the enchanted island of Bali.
