Whicker's World. QE2 A fast boat to China Part 1. Tahiti to Wellington.

This video is about Whicker's World. QE2 A fast boat to China Part 1. Episode 2 of Whicker's World "A fast boat to China" filmed on board QE2 in 1983. I was sound recordist on this 8 week filming trip round the Pacific from Tahiti to Japan. Alan Whicker had a unique style and talent and was the leading travel documentary presenter for four decades from the 50s to the nineties. His unmistakable voice and style of writing made him instantly recognisable and much imitated.

Keith, thank you for sharing this set of videos, they don't seem available to view anywhere else. Fantastic series to watch again.Memories of sat by the TV as a kid watching this with my parents and drooling at the glamour.

Thanks for posting this, Keith - I can't understand why it hasn't had more views. Great to look back on this quality journalism, beautifully written and delivered by AW. Nice easy pace too - how many TV shows now would an introductory theme lasting a whole minute? Great stuff.

Again, a big thanks Keith for posting this amazing series. I saw from the credits that you were indeed the sound man for this shoot. It must had been a fantastic experience. I got a great deal of pleasure watching it. Many thanks again. PS - did you record all of the sound on a small reel to reel, or maybe some other method? As a fellow sound man, would love to know.
