For three of those months, he was on assignment for ABC News of America after the Iranian authorities had expelled all US passport-holders (a time and place portrayed in the film Argo). During this period, his daily reports for ABC’s Nightline were the only Tehran-based TV coverage of the American hostage crisis to reach U.S. viewers.
"I discovered it sometimes pays to be frightened," Derek confesses.
He served for three years as a Royal Television Society Journalism Awards judge, then went on to work for the BBC. He became a Director of Price Waterhouse before taking over as Chief Executive of the world’s biggest TV news agency owned by The Associated Press of America.
He now lives with his wife, Maggie in Plymouth on the south coast of England, where he pursues his first love: history. He's had five books published. Two of them Magna Carta, the Places that Shaped the Great Carter and his latest, England from a Side-saddle have topped Amazon's history best-seller list.

Living in Somerset and Andalucia, I have now retired to pursue a pathway of writing stories and songs, some of which have lain dormant for many years.
