On 9 September news cameraman Neil Davis was killed filming the attempted coup in Thailand. This programme, taken from a longer film by David Bradbury and shown as a tribute to Davis's skill and courage, includes the close-range film he shot in Vietnam that made him a legend among newsmen and brought the horrors of war home - literally - to millions of people. Davis talks about working under fire and his belief that 'it's the cameraman's job to bring the truth to the people. No matter what happens.'

In the early 1960s Sir Nicholas Henderson , with 20 years' experience in the Foreign Service behind him, joined the Private Office of the Foreign Secretary. He had become one of the rare few who spend their lives at the elbow of their Minister - a Private Secretary.
In the second of three programmes Sir Nicholas talks to Kenneth Harris about his time in the Private Office serving two very difficult Foreign Secretaries - R. A. Butler and Michael Stewart. Research
