Journey of a Lifetime

Más información sobre el libro

"You might say I'm set in my airways. I'm one of those lucky people whose professional and private lives blend exactly." This sumptuous book celebrates 50 years in front of the camera, showcasing a journey through the eccentric and ludicrous aspects of everyday life. Since the late 1950s, Whicker has explored the secretive worlds of the rich and famous, uncovering implausible and often ridiculous characters in their leisure hours. His legacy includes numerous TV firsts, with landmark interviews featuring figures like Papa Doc, Paul Getty, and The Sultan of Brunei. A pioneer in covering diverse subjects such as plastic surgery, gay weddings, polygamy, and swinging, he brought a fly-on-the-wall style to British screens long before others. This wonderful new book is the culmination of a personal journey, where Whicker retraces his steps, reconnecting with past interviewees and reflecting on the changes—both good and bad—over time. Lyrical and uplifting, it is infused with Whicker's signature subtle satire, offering readers a glimpse into the world through the eyes of a beloved globetrotter.
