This is the first of a two-part interview with legendary BBC cameraman Bob Prabhu. Bob recently retired after 40 years in the business, including five years as the Moscow bureau cameraman during the early 90's.
Bob worked extensively with the famous John Simpson and in this interview talks at length about the early days of electronic news gathering and covering the break up of the Soviet Union.
If you love hearing all about the heyday of news then you will love this.
