Whicker's World - Aboard the Orient Express - May 1982 (Alan Whicker)

[@robchester5327]

Fortunate to have riden it twice. Unforgettable.

[@bodyloverz30]

I love how classy the 80's were, Wicker introduced the young man & his "companion."

[@arlowtest]

Wonderful. I watched this in 1982 and went on VSOE in 1985 with my mother to mark her retirement. Nigel Dempster is spot on about a experience you will never forget. Unlike modern documentaries not ever second is packed with a host who feels they have to say something meaningless. Whicker is brilliant, his final concluding sentence is genius..

[@DaveSCameron]

Hahaha! Fantastic comment and thank you 😂😂😂

[@LuciThomasHardylover-qx6ts]

A host who speaks in whole sentences without using peculiar emphasis on odd words to break them up into breathless declarations. And doesn't ask everyone from the band members to the bed makers how they 'feel' about it all..as though the audience is a lot of wooden planks. Conversation used to be considered an art. People learned how to make it,in a way that brought out the other person by being witty and interested, you were expected to make the other person feel at ease and entertained in equal measures. We can see the last vestiges here.

You never typed truer words. The late great Alan Whicker influenced my travelling immensely.

There is a day trip in UK for around that amount, or the full trip to Istanbul for $10,000 per person.

An experience is always worth the money.

Most depends upon the experience 😂

[@Mustaffa-Ahnus]

Have to admit i was a little disappointed seeing it being pulled by a diesel rather than a Grand steam engine

[@BINGOTECH-lt8lt]

10:22 The British Rail arrows are the wrong way round

[@railwayarchives]

Shipping worldwide always keep to the right ..

[@TRexo-ds5ze]

Famously the arrows on the port side of Sealink ships were 'handed' to always point forwards.

[@energybrown]

Is that Jeremy Clarkson in the background at 3:32?

[@goodwood-rc4nx]

no

[@simonf8902]

Liza Minnelli. Who was her partner here ?

[@chipbuttytime3396]

I would be more than gutted if I boarded the carriage and saw it was being pulled by a diesel locomotive

[@simonf8902]

Pre Channel tunnel.
