Sean Langan

Months later, I found out what happened.

Poor woman was in counselling, the woman at Channel 4's switchboard.

Of course she knew who I was.

They didn't have any other Sean Lane kidnapped.

The company they'd hired, the private security company,

company had advised channel 4 if i call with the taliban not to answer because that's often when kidnappers will say if you don't pay we're going to cut off a finger and they use that so you their advice was you don't take the call to this poor woman exactly who i was could hear me pleading

I still think to this day, I met the hostage negotiator.

I'm glad you felt confident with that poker move because it could have gone wrong on my end.

But that was the advice of the poor woman who had been told not to take the call.

As I said, I broke my time into routines, survival, exercise, prayer, reflection, take my kids to lunch.

But there's no good saying I'll take them to a nice restaurant because that uses up a minute of time.

So you think, where am I taking them?

What are we eating?

I would take my children on holiday but have very detailed breakdowns

Okay, we go to Florida.

Do I go Virgin Airlines or BA?

You've escaped from the room.

And I didn't do the cross my fixer, did that literally with a nail on the wall.

And I could see how this passage of time was driving him insane because the Taliban would say, right, we're going to go off and check to see if you're spies.

We're going to do an investigation.
