Whicker's World: South Sea Island Coronation

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Alan Whicker at a South Sea Island Coronation
The Most Happy People - they're just fantastic...
Flame dancers whirl, drums throb, guests feast on thirteen thousand sucking pigs, and in a festive mixture of Polynesia and Ruritania a King is crowned. Once ruled by Queen Salote, Tonga - remote coral island set upon the seas of the South Pacific - is tonight's world for Alan Whicker, observing the joys, pangs, and charms of a unique Victorian pageant - with South Sea island overtones!
