Whicker's World was a British television documentary series that ran from 1959 to 1994, presented by journalist and broadcaster Alan Whicker.
Originally a segment on the BBC's Tonight programme in 1959, Whicker's World became a fully-fledged television series in its own right in the 1960s.[1] The series was first shown by the BBC until 1968, and then by ITV from 1968 to 1983, when it was produced by Yorkshire Television, in which Whicker himself was a shareholder.[2] The series returned to the BBC in 1984, and to ITV again in 1992.
