    My cameraman @joesheffer entertained Bahraini cops by winding them up in Arabic - he & my producer Dave Fuller fine travelling companions

    My amazing driver, Ali, has been released. So has Dr Ala'a Shehabi who was with us in the crazed helicopter and car chase. Big relief.

    OK... Channel 4 Three finally being deported aboard a non-British airline. Goodbye Bahrain. I met some lovely people but not many were cops.
