As he said 'The one phrase imperative to know in any foreign language is My friend will pay'

I enjoyed his broadcasting and another part of my youth has gone.

As a youngster I remember watching his reports on Tonight.

Another part of my youth gone.

RIP

Great interviewer but unfortunately I'll remember him best for a particularly obsequious interview with the Sultan Of Brunei

North Lower Neil

Never saw the programme but had a 'Whicker's World' board game as a kid - hours of fun, so RIP Mr Whicker!

One of my early heroes. Great interview style that remained focused on the subject not the ego of the broadcaster.

Great broadcaster, his WW2 sevice stories are fascinating. RIP
You can't beat a nice pair of Alan's.
