 In 1979 Allan was appointed as Editor of World In Action.His editorship saw the broadcast of the notorious "The Steel Papers" programme, which prompted a House of Lords legal dispute, and almost led to his and several other Granada Television directors' imprisonment because of the programme's steadfast refusal to reveal the identity of the source of the confidential documents relating to the British Steel Corporation strike on which the programme was centred.Between 1990 and 1992 Segal acted as the series editor of the international, multimillion-dollar documentary series "Dinosaur", presented by legendary CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite.
