    Whicker was one of the great personalities of that time; particularly seen in retrospect.

    It's strange to think that most of these people will be either dead (including Alan Whicker) or very elderly now. It just makes me wonder what's it all about Alfie and all that deep stuff but that's life, I guess. Probably best not to think too much about it all. Thanks.

      I was thinking about that too John. It’s really thought provoking to take a close look at these lives, knowing that they are mostly no more. Reinforces the familiar refrain of doing what you want as life is indeed very short.

    Alan Whicker’s legs are a very strange colour 😂 and he is cringingly condescending, patronising and chauvinistic, but then back in 1971 most men were. He was a product of his time. Good to see Jol, Jenny and their beautiful boat.

    I am surprised people are not talking about how offensive this series approaches everything. It's disgusting. It's like a sleaze-ball perspective on the world where the worst behavior is rewarded. The pompousness.....the arrogance....the predator-vibe,...... the stupidity.... no one else see's this?
