Terry Waite - the tall bearded man whose name dominated headlines a quarter century ago when he was released from five years of captivity in Lebanon by the group Islamic Jihad. In the 1980s he had worked as the Archbishop of Canterbury's special envoy to help free hostages in the Middle East and beyond, until he became a hostage himself, kept in the most horrific of circumstances. To mark the 25 years since his release, he's updated his memoir "Taken on Trust."
