My hero has passed away

[david ellwood]

And now his secret persona as Stan lee must be revealed!

I found Whicker annoying because I didn't like either his voice, his delivery, or his documentary style.
But he was compulsive viewing.

I could listen to Alistair Cooke's calm and measured delivery all day long.

Alan Whicker was a sensible man. He lived a long way away from Swindon.

Oily haired twit with daft moustache.

Never cared for whicker except when monty python used his delivery style. Wicker always seemed to me to be a patronising englishman abroad tourist.

And yet he spoke so highly of you.

 

[monkfish]

A funeral pyre in the form of a Whicker man perhaps ?

I'm sure his view of me would have been something along the lines of "revolting little northern prole".

Is this only me?

He went to grammar school and left at 16 to join the army, so I don't suppose he was a snob, really.

 

[mudlark]

No I'm sure he was a very nice clever man. I'm relating my prejudices as a teenager back in the 70s.

 

[jcbrum]

He had some very nice Bentley motor cars.
