What a shame, he was so very interesting, and a really lovely man.

Yes, I have fond memories of this programme "Whicker's World"

[JoanneB]

and of his excellent advice when travelling "if you see a clean toilet...use it!".

Unfortunately his other good bit of advice is a little more expensive to follow ..... "always try and turn left when boarding an aircraft!"

Is there another way?

Sadly the end of an era. His programmes were fascinating. He had a memorable voice and a memorable way of reporting.
Correct me if I am wrong but I believe he was born in Cleveleys, Lancashire.

His travel programmes were fantastic as far as we were concerned as indeed was the Monty Python sketch that depicted him so accurately.

Always enjoyed his travel programmes.

I remember his travel shows .. must have been one of the first to bring far off exotic places into everybody's living room.
Maybe he played a part in giving me my sense of adventure and desire to see many corners of this world.
RIP.
