After Dinner Speakers: Alan Whicker, Jack Nicklaus, Max Bygraves

Alan Whicker is a legendary figure, one of the inventors of modern television and a great reporter. For three decades or more Whicker's World was one of the most powerful brands in British broadcasting, whether on the BBC or ITV. Alan Whicker was a founder member of the consortium, which became Yorkshire Television. He has made groundbreaking documentaries about US gun culture and about plastic surgery but is perhaps most critically acclaimed for the BBC’s Tonight programme, launched in 1957. Alan Whicker is an entertaining speaker who has many fantastic recollections to relate.
