The Iranian Embassy siege of 1980 was one of those ‘where were
you when it happened?’ moments, but beyond the explosive live
footage of the SAS assault that ended things, what of the
previous six days of tense standoff and the lives of the 26

and interviews with those who were there he sat down with us for
an interview of his own. Who were these people, what exactly did
they go through, and how would any of us have reacted if put in
the same situation?
