Graham de Wilde
Upton’s resident composer Graham de Wilde is one of the contributors to ITV’s tribute to Alan Whicker, Journey’s End, to be aired on ITV on Sunday 28th July at 10.15pm.
Graham composed the track “Newsweek”, the title theme from “Whicker’s World”, and had a top-twenty hit in 1981 with “Wikka Rap”, a comedy spoof.
In tribute to the veteran broadcaster who died recently the documentary looks back at the ground-breaking, 50 year career of Alan Whicker. This is the story of a TV pioneer who brought the world into our living rooms – whether he was in Venice or Palm Beach, Hong Kong or the Australian Outback, on the QE2 or Orient Express, or simply interviewing some of the planet’s most fascinating characters – from plastic surgeons to the rich and famous.
