I don't believe they ever had these old Whicker shows in America even though we had many other British shows . It would have been wonderful to see these back in the 60s when I was a little kid . So I'm enjoying a few of them now , all these decades later .

@@orionxtc1119 This was made by Yorkshire Television, one of the regional Independent Television companies - being non-BBC as their commercial rival network - which served in the Leeds area of that part of the U.K. You may have seen a British espionage drama series called THE SANDBAGGERS: that was produced by Yorkshire and has a fan following in the U.S. Whicker began his career on the BBC in the 1950s and then became one of the founding directors of Yorkshire Television in 1967, and throughout his career he made his WHICKER’S WORLD programme for both the BBC and Yorkshire for ITV.

Muy interesante e ilustrativa entrevista. Se percibe a un hombre cálido en el trato, natural. Un digno representante de una clase social casi extinta. Disfruté mucho de la entrevista!! Gracias!!

Hi from England Love all the Alan Whicker documentaries from back in the day. What a fascinating man was Count Robert John De Vogue It was all so glamorous back in the 60's a decade i was born in and still love today. I wonder what he would think of English Sparkling Wine which is top quality and some think better than French Champagne

Did he really criticize the Count for doing business like an American and driving a ‘vulgar’ American car? Obviously the Count was right. While most of his contemporaries in the aristocracy were already broke or becoming that way, the count was making millions on a liquid. I doubt he had to open his house to gawkers either. I’m not putting down those who have to open their old country homes, they must support themselves after all, this was just during that period when, except only but a handful, aristos had to adapt or lose hundreds of years of their heritage piece by piece. No more a gentleman doesn’t work bs.

It's not they did not work but had a steward and managers, it was they did not partake in "commerce" ,defined as selfishness because a polity or Monarchy is not based on self-interest. It was the definition of nobility, those going broke are in tax problems not cultural restraints.
