I don't believe they ever had these old Whicker shows in America even though we had many other British shows . It would have been wonderful to see these back in the 60s when I was a little kid . So I'm enjoying a few of them now , all these decades later .
@@orionxtc1119 yes I do understand that they are BBC shows and we had plenty of them in America over the decades that a lot of us loved ; but I really just don't recall this show and I was allowed to stay up pretty late to watch TV as a kid ... but I really don't recall seeing this program .
Muy interesante e ilustrativa entrevista. Se percibe a un hombre cálido en el trato, natural. Un digno representante de una clase social casi extinta. Disfruté mucho de la entrevista!! Gracias!!
Hi from England Love all the Alan Whicker documentaries from back in the day. What a fascinating man was Count Robert John De Vogue It was all so glamorous back in the 60's a decade i was born in and still love today. I wonder what he would think of English Sparkling Wine which is top quality and some think better than French Champagne
Did he really criticize the Count for doing business like an American and driving a ‘vulgar’ American car? Obviously the Count was right. While most of his contemporaries in the aristocracy were already broke or becoming that way, the count was making millions on a liquid. I doubt he had to open his house to gawkers either. I’m not putting down those who have to open their old country homes, they must support themselves after all, this was just during that period when, except only but a handful, aristos had to adapt or lose hundreds of years of their heritage piece by piece. No more a gentleman doesn’t work bs.
It's not they did not work but had a steward and managers, it was they did not partake in "commerce" ,defined as selfishness because a polity or Monarchy is not based on self-interest. It was the definition of nobility, those going broke are in tax problems not cultural restraints.

Its a pleasure to watch this Whicker programs. Captures a time of true style and honestly.
Thank you for the upload once again. These episodes are so informative and a window to a past and way of life that we will never see again.
Completely agreed - really educational.
I love this .....and I wish that I couldve been a young adult back in this era.

What amazing TV , it's an historical document and what a subject , what a man 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So glad that I have discovered this channel. Now I know where Robin Leach got the idea for Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
What a truly special man. I really enjoyed this encounter

Amazing documentary..
I really enjoyed this and especially what De Vogue says at the very end .

Nice shot of 'riddling' the champagne bottles during the end credits....
Oh to have even the ⅒th of his wealth !

69 was a very good year Dwl literally and figuratively.
@5:50 What model Oldsmobile is he driving and talking about?
Cutlass 1967 ?
@@frederictorron9341 Good guess.
1965 Oldsmobile 88
How cool it was back then he could have had any car and he preferred the American cars .

Count Robert Jean De Vogüé. Not John.
