- John Tiffin obituary
Television news producer with an eye for the unusualJohn Tiffin, who has died aged 80, was a producer for the primetime American tele- vision programme 60 Minutes. For half a century, he was based at the CBS News London office, from which he travelled to more than 100 countries to produce stories for 60 Minutes, as well as the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite. As much an artist as a journalist, Tiffin had studied under John Minton at Camberwell School of Art in the early 1950s. Tiffin brought a visual eloquence to each of his productions – his witty sketches on the backs of boarding passes, dashed off while stranded with crews at distant airports, were treasured by those who kept them.His 60 Minutes pieces covered some weighty topics, such as Strabane (1975), a study of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland, and Till Death Us Do Part (1985), which explored the practice of bride-burning in India. His light and humorous works included Tango Finlandia (1993), which reflected that country's obsession with the dramatic ballroom dance, and Backstage at the Muppets (1979). There was also a portrait of Fania Fénelon, a French Jew at Auschwitz who performed in the concentration camp's orchestra. Her story, featured in The Music of Auschwitz (1978), led to a 1980 film starring Vanessa Redgrave.Tiffin was born in Beckenham, south London, the only child of a retailer, George, and his wife, Doris. Educated at Dulwich college, he hoped his talent for drawing, and passion for motorsports, might lead to a career as a technical draughtsman. When his childhood friend, John Peters, a CBS staffer, invited him to help film a news report, he began shooting material of his own.
