Just finished watching the Panorama special on BBC1 about the kidnapping of BBC journalist Alan Johnston. It was one story from the middle east that did eventually have a happy ending. Support from all around the world during Alan's captivity kept his plight in the news headlines, and probably helped towards securing his release. The programme tonight gave Alan the opportunity to share his thoughts about what happened to him. Clearly deeply affected by the experience, he showed no bitterness towards his captors. A good example to us all, and a valuable lesson on how we all need to keep our normal day-to-day lives in perspective.For more details of Alan's story, click here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/7048652.stm#top
