Whicker's World
In The Amazon Jungle - A White Elephant
S6 • E5 Jul 25, 1971 26m
Whicker visits Kourou, Guiana, the resting place of Blue Streak - intended to be Britain's first independent nuclear deterrent, but shelved in 1960. Meanwhile, France's desolate multi-million pound space station supports a new town where 6,000 scientists live on double salaries, gentle taxes and the hope of one day having something to launch.
