He is an Honorary Bencher of the Middle Temple, an ambassador for the Landmark Trust[14] and a patron of the Elephant Family.

While on assignment making a television documentary about Tamil terrorism in Sri Lanka in 1984, he was arrested and jailed for ten days in Welikada prison, Colombo,[18] where he embarked upon writing a collection of short stories, How I Met My Wife.
