Whicker did it the hard way

I have been watching the recent travel shows of Alan Whicker who was the pioneer of todays modern travel shows. How times have changed.

Back when he was doing his shows in the 60′s and 70′s booking a trip to, say, Argentina meant you had to go to an agent who specialised in  Argentina travel and it was an arduous ordeal; today you just use an online booking system and you can do everything yourself in one hit.

I like what Whicker has been saying about todays batch of travel presenters and he is correct. His shows were full of information and culture – today a presenter only has to look good in a bikini to get a job presenting a travel show!
