returned to television with Alan Whicker's Journey Of A Lifetime, a four-part series for the BBC in which he revisited some of the locations and people shown in Whicker's World decades earlier to see how their lives had progressed since his original interviews with them. Included in this was a third visit to American plastic surgeon Dr. Kurt Wagner and his wife Kathy, whom Whicker had already made two programmes about in 1973 and 1980 and had considered them among his favourite interviewees. The series had several theme tunes over the course of its run. The original theme music for the programme was "West End" composed by Laurie Johnson. When the series moved over to ITV in the late 1960s, a new theme was incorporated entitled "Horizons" by Frank Talley and The New Concert Orchestra which was used until 1977. In 1978 Andrew Lloyd Webber composed a new theme for the series that was used until the early 1980s. When the series returned to the BBC in 1984, "Newsweek", a piece composed by Graham de Wilde for KPM Musichouse, was used as the theme. Awards Whicker's World was a huge ratings success in the UK, and one of the longest running series in the history of British television. The series was nominated for a variety of awards throughout its run including several BAFTA Awards.
