Best headline I've seen for a while, had a real feel good factor about it. I hope his road to recovery is short.

Couldn't agree more Iain, I feel so relieved for his family and friends.

They must have gone through hell over the past few months, lets hope that this is the last time anything like this happens.

It is interesting that we've not heard another word from Alan Johnson since he was freed! Thumbs up to him that he's not cashing in on it to make money.

Please tell this KIWI who Alan Johnson is.

Hi there, Alan Johnson was the BBC correspondant in Gazza who was kidnapped and held hostage.

Thanks Ruth.

There was a TV prog about Alan recently, where he told of his experience as a kidnapee. (is that a word??)

However, the story was really simple - he was kidnapped, shoved into a room where he stayed for the whole time, and was not treated badly by the kidnappers. It could have been told in 15 minutes but they stretched it out for an hour. He also has an extremely monotonous voice, I'm afraid. Not great watching at all.
