As the BBC World Service prepares to leave Bush House in London - its home for many decades - Alan Johnston recalls his time there. Owen Bennett Jones presents.
From his first day in the newsroom at the beginning of the first Gulf War, to filing his first pieces, he explains why Bush House is special to him.
Also, while he was held hostage in Gaza, a guard allowed him to listen to the radio. His colleagues broadcasting on the World Service provided a lifeline.
