Although Alan Whicker in his prime was way before my time, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching old footage of him over the past few days. It must have been amazing to see him discovering all these strange, exotic places in a time when the world was so much more mysterious & closed. He made shows about the South Seas, Mexico & the Orient way before the masses were even thinking of travelling to these places – what a life! Here’s a clip of Mr Whicker learning all about Kathakali, the strange & beautiful dance-theatre from Kerala, India.
