I grew up listening to Alistair Cooke’s Letter From America every Saturday afternoon, on Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio. Cooke’s weekly monologues were wonderful, especially when he spoke about the great and powerful people who he had known during his long life. I miss Cooke’s wit and wisdom.

He had the ability to give 1 minute of information in 15 minutes.

One of my heroes. Thank you for this.

I want to see the full version of Allistair last ever masterpiece theater episode the secret agent in 1992

Alistair Cooke was a benevolent paternal figure in my life. I just loved the man.

I'm watching The Jewel in the Crown and every episode is introduced by Cooke. I went looking for more information about him since he seemed a rather cultured man, and I am quite surprised by how he didn't shy away from disapproving the injustices of Empire and still was moralistic and reactionary about modern society.

I loved watching Masterpiece Theatre.

Did letter from America until just a few days from his death in 2003

I loved his narration of Elizabeth R. He gave such interesting details of the Queen, her makeup, dress & whatever the episode was about.

At 0:36, do you have the first episode of Masterpiece Theatre from January 10, 1971?

Je vous remercier pour partager.

What is his accent? I know he is British but why does he not seem to have much of an accent at all. I was introduced to him through finding his book at a library giveaway called The American Home. Really cool to read passages of places youve traveled and see his tale on them. I always read imagining his voice with a much stronger accent lol

What a prophet No moral guide see what happened

Charlie, keep your robe closed in front of a gentleman!!

This guy is a blatant ripoff of Alistair Cookie, host of Monsterpiece Theatre on Sesame Street.

his name was Alfred,,,,, he changed it Seemed a snob
