Whicker's World is an award-winning British television documentary series which brought a glimpse of the exotic jet-set world into the UK's living rooms for more than 30 years, making journalist and broadcaster Alan Whicker one of the most recognisable faces in Britain. Originally a segment on the BBC's Tonight programme starting in 1958, Whicker's World became a fully-fledged television series in its own right on the BBC in 1965. In 1968 it moved to ITV, then returned to the BBC in 1984, and then finally ended back on ITV again in 1992.

Biography is a documentary television series. It was originally a half-hour filmed series produced for CBS by David Wolper from 1961 to 1964 and hosted by Mike Wallace. The A&E Network later re-ran it and has produced new episodes since 1987. The older version featured historical figures such as Helen Keller and Mark Twain, or long-dead entertainment figures such as Will Rogers or John Barrymore. The A&E series has placed the emphasis on such people as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Plácido Domingo, Freddie Mercury, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Eric Clapton, Pope John Paul II, Gene Tierney, Selena, Diego Rivera, Mao Zedong and Queen Elizabeth II, and fictional characters like The Phantom, Superman, Hamlet, Betty Boop, and Santa Claus. The program ended up profiling enough figures that in 1999, A&E spun it off into an entire network, The Biography Channel.
