| Christopher's Choice |  | |
This week Sue Lawley's castaway is the chairman of the Press Complaints Commission Sir Christopher Meyer.
Sir Christopher joined the PCC earlier this year after a glittering career in the diplomatic service. His last posting as Ambassador to Washington covered the September 11th attacks and the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
In all he spent 36 years with the Foreign Office during which time he held postings to key missions in Washington, Moscow, Madrid and Brussels. He worked as Foreign Office spokesman for Geoffrey Howe in the eighties and as Press Secretary to the former Prime Minister John Major in the mid nineties.
