Thanks to Vanessa for the link.

There are a couple of interviews with Jackie Pullinger at 14:00 and 16:35.

AW refers to himself and a 2 man team doing his earlier Whicker's Worlds.

How times change - the BBC are sending a 272 member team to Brazil for the World Cup !

If memory serves me Mr Whicker made much of having to interview YK Pao - owner of Worldwide Shipping - during his morning swim at Repulse Bay. I suspect he needed more than a two man team for that.

I interviewed Mr Pao in 1971 over tea in his Ice House Street offices as an ordinary journalist. 

I am sure a swimming interview made better television than simply asking questions across a desk.
