He has been punched in the stomach by a British prime minister, had a gun held to his head more than once and has been wounded by American friendly fire in Iraq. But when this hard-bitten foreign correspondent heads out into some of the world's most dangerous places it is to the psalms that he turns to draw courage.

This veteran of variety nearly died at the age of two and believes that his survival is evidence that God has a purpose for him. Doddy, as he is affectionately known, talks to Fern Britton about his life, and how his faith has helped him through triumphs and trials of an incredible career spanning six decades.
