 John Gillatt used to dislike mobile phones. A near brush with death changed his mind.
On a business trip to Malaysia, John took what he thought was going to be a short, relaxing walk in the nearby jungle. But he got lost and his stroll turned into an exercise in survival in which his mobile phone played a key part.
John, a microbiologist, and his wife, Noeline, talk to Paul about what happened and how Noeline organised the rescue from the Gillatt's home in Bolton.
