A former ISIS captive has described how the extremists enjoyed watching Teletubbies and Game of Thrones to relax and sometimes struggled to justify their barbaric acts . French former captive Nicolas Henin has said they watched 'everything ' on TV , and also claimed they were 'fragile people ' who could not turn back after initially committing violent crimes . Mr Henin , aged 39 , and fellow captive Pierre Torres , 30 , were kidnapped in Raqqa , Syria in June 2013 and released 10 months later . French journalists Nicholas Hénin ( left ) and Pierre Torres ( right ) spent time with Briton David Haines as ISIS captives . When it came to time off from waging jihad , Henin said in an interview with the BBC placed on the Spiegel website in Germany : 'They watched everything , from Teletubbies to Game of Thrones . 'The recruits are fragile people - once pushed to commit a crime when they arrive there is no way they can turn back . ' He refused to talk specifically about Kuwaiti-born Briton Mohammed Emwazi on the grounds that fellow prisoner , British journalist John Cantlie , is still held hostage by the group . He added that he and fellow released captive Mr Torres played a game at night devised by doomed Briton David Haines . Haines was beheaded on camera by the Islamic executioner now revealed to be Kuwaiti-born Briton Mohammed Emwazi . A Russian engineer , Sergey Gorbunov , who was killed during Henin 's time there , was remembered in a small ceremony by the rest of the prisoners , he says . French former captive Nicolas Henin said his ISIS captors watched 'everything ' on TV , and also claimed they were 'fragile people ' who could not turn back after initially committing violent crimes . 'Everyone paid tribute to him . John Cantlie spoke first and then we held a minute 's silence . ' Talking to some of his captors during his 10 months as a hostage , he says he saw flickers of doubt 'and a lot of bad faith , because they had to justify it to themselves , and some of their acts were impossible to justify ' . ' I remember with a couple of the captors , we had discussions that showed their convictions were a bit fragile and that they maybe even had regrets about what they were doing . ' A bit of chat might help , but no pity for sure because they are totally closed to pity . 'Asking for pity is the worst thing you can do . It 's stupid . Never try it . ' Henin was interviewed upon the publication of a children 's book he wrote in captivity with Torres based on the game devised by Haines . The book , Will Daddy Hedgehog Ever Come Home ? , was written for Henin 's five-year-old daughter , and is published this week .
