Whicker's World was a British television documentary series that ran variously on BBC and ITV from 1958 to 1994, presented by journalist and broadcaster Alan Whicker. Whicker and his crew visited the Pune One ashram in early June 1978, producing in the end about 18 minutes of coverage of Osho and sannyasins. It was aired on Nov 7, 1978 at 22:30, as part of a larger concept of a "four-part" series on the Bombay area. Thus the ashram's 18 min was about 1/3 of the whole program of 53:34 min, which ran as "parts three and four" of the Bombay series, shortly after "parts one and two", which ran from 21:00 to 22:00.
timings
00:00 to 01:02 intro apparently common to all episodes, Whicker striding and traveling in boat, train and plane to and in exotic places, with triumphant theme music
01:03 to 06:34 coverage of a group of mainly Western Hare Krishnas at their temple in Juhu, Mumbai. Most of this segment consists of them answering his questions.
06:35 to 07:35 The Gateless Gate, smoking in the Smoking temple outside the gate and other social scenes with Sufi dancing music and Whicker's voice-over intoning about Indian ashrams competing as resorts to attract Western disciples ... the "Swami of Sex", etc. We have arrived!
07:36 to 12:46 voice-over continues into darshan, people entering, having to pass by the sniffers, Maneesha and Radha. Whicker himself gets sniffed out and though allowed to enter with a scarf, he complains a lot and grills Maneesha about this whole sniffing thing. ("The Bhagwan or God has asthma, or maybe he's just sensitive about the ashram's lack of toilet facilities" plus other snide comments.) "He claims to be a god and to have 60,000 followers". But also "He's bald, bearded and rather beautiful. In action, he's enormously impressive".
The darshan segment shown is the "arrival darshan" of Sw Deva Rashid, his wife Rashida and their two children, coming to stay forever. That night was Jun 1 1978. The event is mentioned by Maneesha in The Madman's Guide to Enlightenment.
12:47 to 20:02 chatting with a group of mainly English sannyasins in the juice bar (Vrindavan?), all jolly and irreverent. Recognised and speaking are, among others, Sw Prem Christo, Sw Anand Subhuti, Sw Deva(?) Niranjan and Sw Anand Somendra.
20:03 to 24:45 interview with Krishna Prem of the Press Office, who explains some things
24:46 to 25:15 (end) Sufi dancing, fade to "Whicker's World, end of Part Three"
25:16 to 53:34 "Part Four", about "normal" Indian scenes around Mumbai
