Alistair Cooke at the BBC

Alistair Cooke at the BBC

‘Such experience, wisdom and education are unlikely ever again to combine in one journalist’ — Mark Lawson

Alistair Cooke looks back on a rich and varied life, one which has taken him across the ocean but never far away from the BBC.

Drawing on archive recordings, this selection includes interviews from radio and television, Cooke’s Letter from America, and a speech made to the Royal Television Society at New York’s Cosmopolitan Club.

It charts the journalist’s career from his first trip to America as a young Cambridge graduate to the establishment of the enormously successful Letter From America, originally scheduled for thirteen weeks but still running today.

Alistair Cooke’s biographer, Nick Clarke, introduces this in-depth retrospective which examines the heroes, hobbies and experiences of one of the greatest names in broadcasting.

Auburn Eyes: A Tail of Unconditional Love

Honesty, self-acceptance and unconditional love: These are just a few qualities that I, as a human, have aspired to have in my life and in my relationships. A seeker of wisdom and enlightenment, I have wrestled with life’s great mysteries but have yet to reach a state of inner peace. It’s ironic that I have had the perfect teacher right here all along. She’s the one who’s been digging up my back yard.

A fun, lighthearted song and a humourous, insightful companion booklet exploring the "tail" behind it, make Auburn Eyes a delight for animal lovers everywhere.
