Charles Wheeler, the BBC’s longest-serving foreign correspondent, was one of Britain’s greatest news reporters. For more than four decades, he reported for radio and television from most of the world’s trouble spots. Present at many of the key episodes of the twentieth century, he had – as a BBC manager noted after the shooting of George Wallace, Presidential candidate and Governor of Alabama, on 15 May 1972, ‘a knack of being in the right place at the right time’. It was typical of Charles that he ran towards the sound of the gunshot while the crowd was running in the opposite direction.
