Journalist and broadcaster Alan Whicker has died at the age of 87 after suffering from bronchial pneumonia. His spokeswoman said he died in the early hours of Friday morning at his home in Jersey. With a TV career that stretched nearly six decades, he was best known for his long-running documentary series, Whicker's World. The show, which ran from 1959 to 1988 on both the BBC and ITV, saw him travel all over the world. The series featured Whicker reporting on the unusual and bizarre, interviewing all types of people from millionaires and monks to gangsters and dictators. He once said he counted himself one of the luckiest men in the world because he enjoyed his work so much. Valerie Kleeman, Whicker's partner of more than 40 years, said she was "lucky to have shared" his life. Alan Whicker Whicker was made a CBE in 2005 "A few years ago a poll asked who was the most envied man in the country - and Alan won by a country mile!" she said. "He said that he didn't know where work ended and private life began. Quoting Noel Coward, he would say 'work is more fun than fun'. "On this last journey he will arrive curious, fascinated, and ready for a new adventure."
