 David Rowan: The Times: Interview - Jonathan Dimbleby   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Jonathan Dimbleby, the broadcasting scion who first exposed Ethiopia's famine and later the Prince of Wales's adultery, will this weekend chalk up another journalistic triumph to the family name: when his eponymous ITV series returns on Sunday, it will be the last surviving "forensic" political interview on British television.
Yet Dimbleby, 58, appears less than triumphal in his victory, if that is what it is. Sixteen months into the BBC's wide-ranging review of its political coverage, he is keen to go on the record himself with his reservations.
Dimbleby is probably best known for his 1994 documentary Charles: The Private Man, the Public Role, in which the Prince of Wales confessed to adultery.

 Jonathan Dimbleby
Jonathan Dimbleby is not only known for "breaking the news" to the world about the 1974 Ethiopian famine but also was the one courageous British broadcaster who asked Prince Charles, ex-husband of the late Princess Diana, a question other British jouranalists did not dare to ask: "You had an affair with Camilla Parker Bowls?"
Dimbleby's visit to Ethiopia is believed to have been sponsored by Meles Zenawi, the premier who shops out in the international market to purchase Peace products.
By then, if Dimbleby regretted his words and said "Meles broke his promise of handing over power peacefully," it would not make sense to anyone: The damage is already done.
