After his traineeship, Webb worked in Belfast and as a reporter on the Today programme, then became a foreign affairs correspondent. In 1996 he met Gordon, at a party. ‘It was [BBC Middle East correspondent] Jeremy Bowen’s leaving party – he was moving to Jerusalem and had a moustache and a sports car and was very glamorous – not that he still isn’t, of course.’ Bowen also lives in Camberwell and they are good friends. He was most familiar to US TV audiences as host of Omnibus and Masterpiece Theatre. He received acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic for his 13-part BBC series America: A Personal History of the United States, which concluded: “America is a country in which I see the most persistent idealism and the blandest of cynicism and the race is on between its vitality and its decadence.” The accompanying book sold more than 2m copies and is now reissued by Amberley and Quiller.

His biological father was one of the most familiar voices in the land: the BBC newsreader Peter Woods.

Still an unnamed "married man" at this point. He went straight from school to the LSE, where he studied economics. ‘I loved everything about it – the quality of teaching is just brilliant. My personal tutor was David Starkey, and the professor of economics was a guy called Kurt Klappholz, who was a concentration-camp survivor. It was wonderful, I loved being a student in London. It was the making of me.’ He would have explained to people in Britain the multiple reasons why there was such disillusionment and he would have understood the kind of brutal, undiplomatic and un-PC language that saw Trump through the election that he won and thrilled so many people in distressed previously industrial places, in particular the north-east of America, and made them think, ‘He’s a son of a bitch but he’s our son of a bitch.’ Revealed: Initial tests 'indicate Matthew Perry's death was not the result of a fentanyl or meth overdose with neither drug found in his system'Justin Oliver Webb (born Justin Oliver Prouse, [1] 3 January 1961 [2] in Portsmouth, Hampshire) is a British journalist who has worked for the BBC since 1984.
