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.
