Whicker's World 6: Whicker's Orient

A broadcasting legend and one of the most recognisable faces on British television, Alan Whicker worked his own brand of quietly incisive journalism for over fifty years. A consummate interviewer with a famously affable, urbane style, his popular, award-winning documentaries continue to be a significant influence to this day.This volume sees TV's most travelled man making landfall in Asia. Whicker takes a look at Thailand's more extreme sporting activities, and considers the dominant role of women in the Thai business world; he spends time among Hong Kong's Boat People, meets the Chinese movie mogul whose action sagas put Hollywood in the shade, and asks what the future holds for the enchanted island of Bali the morning of the world .Editions included are:What Makes Shaw Run Run?Gamesmanship In ThailandThai Tycoons and the Executive SweetBoat PeopleThe Freedom SwimmersLast Paradise
