Quote:The BBC has postponed its broadcast of a Panorama investigation into reporter Martin Bashir's 1995 interview with Diana, Princess of Wales.

Panorama was expected to examine allegations that Bashir used fake bank statements to convince Diana to do an interview with the programme.

The film was due to air on BBC One on Monday but the broadcaster said it had been delayed due to a "significant duty of care issue".

Would that be the first time Panorama has been the subject of a Panorama?

It might well be.

We had Newsnight investigating Newsnight in 2012 over the Saville revelations

To be accurate, Panorama did a programme about Newsnight, whilst at the same time Newsnight did a programme about the Panorama about Newsnight. Hope that clears things up!

And that just about sums up the BBC.

Twas ever thus

There's a clip somewhere on You Tube of Kenny Everett being interviewed about his sacking from Radio 1, where he laments there is one part of the Beeb filming him about being sacked by another .
I’m sure the significant duty of care issue which is alluded to is because it doesn’t look very good for Bashir, and the BBC are worried that the stress and public outcry might actually finish him off…

Not often I agree with you Brekkie but yes. Only the BBC could destroy itself from the inside in such a manner!

You've obviously forgotten the jewellery chain Ratners!
The BBC News Website’s own explainer of the cancellation of the Diana Panorama episode is quite something in itself.
David Sillito has mentioned on the News Channel that the report is due to come out just after 2pm.
Feels like this has massive implications for the BBC.
Felt like something went wrong on the BBC breaking of the story. Martine stumbling her way through it.
Well probably no surprise: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57189371
Quote:The BBC “fell short of high standards of integrity and transparency which are its hallmark" over journalist Martin Bashir's interview with Diana, Princess of Wales, inquiry says

I can't help feeling Martin Bashir used his health as a convenient excuse to leave the BBC, rather than face being sacked if he'd stayed. A case of jumping before being pushed.

EDIT: Interesting to note at the bottom of the updated news article it mentions.
Quote:A Panorama investigation into the interview - delayed from last week - will be shown at 19:00 BST on BBC One.
I guess they've judged that with "duty of care" showing it now whilst it's already in the headlines of all news outlets anyway carries a lower risk than if they'd showed it last week.
Interesting juxtaposition in these tweets. About the independent report findings into the Princess Diana/Bashir interview. One being from the BBC itself and the other from CNN and AFP. Certainly a full report by the broadcaster itself will reveal more, but its interesting how this was initially framed by the BBC on social media on their main breaking news account. :roll:
