Strange Places, Questionable People - From being punched in the stomach by Harold Wilson on one of his first days as a reporter, to escaping summary execution in Beirut, flying into the Teheran with the returning Ayatollah Khomeini, John Simpson has had an astonishingly eventful career.
Mad World, My Masters - There are only a handful of places left on this earth where you can't buy a McDonald's hamburger or stay in a Holiday Inn - and John Simpson has been to them all. His extraordinary experiences include stories about a television camera that killed people and about how Colonel Gadhaffi farted his way through an interview.
News From No Man's Land - On 13 November 2001, John Simpson and a BBC news crew walked into Kabul and the liberation of the Afghan capital was broadcast to a waiting world. It was the end of a sustained campaign against the Taliban, a campaign that Simpson had covered from the beginning, despite appalling difficulties and, often, great danger.
