He lives in New York with his wife, Caroline, and their two children. ==World in Action== Tremayne joined Granada Television’s ''World in Action'' in 1983 from the BBC where he had been a graduate news trainee. His debut program for the series is believed to be the first ‘life swap’ program on television when he challenged Conservative MP, Matthew Parris, to survive for a week on welfare payments. The controversial program was one of the highest rated programs in the series’ history. Parris later became a successful correspondent for The Times. Shortly afterwards Tremayne joined forces with author and politician Chris Mullin to investigate the case of the Birmingham Six and the safety of their conviction for setting off IRA bombs in pubs in Birmingham. Along with producer Ian McBride and researcher Eamon O’Connor, the resulting series of programs eventually led to the release of the six men and the establishment of a Royal Commission on Criminal Justice. Another controversial investigation, with journalist Tony Watson, exposed the activities of the Economic League, a privately financed organization set up to stop ‘subversives’ working in industry. The three programs led to the collapse of the organization. In 1990 he co-authored a book with journalist Mark Hollingsworth called ''The Economic League – The Silent McCarthyism''. He and Mark Hollingsworth later teamed up on a program into the illegal activities of former MP, John Browne, which eventually led to his resignation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Tremayne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
