It must be very galling for someone quite new to tv reporting to see the guts of their scoop go to others, and then end up with a poor audience for their big debut.
Daniel Foggo, ex Mail, Telegraph and Sunday Times, presented the Panorama that teased MPs and Lords with pretend money from Fiji. The pre-emptive Tory party resignation of Patrick Mercer meant that the "money shot" (stop sniggering) of Daniel's Panorama special had to be pulled out and used by BBC political correspondents to explain the story on Friday 31 May. By the time we got to full transmission on Thursday 5 June, Panorama returned overnight ratings of just 1.3m viewers. It was even beaten by The Most Dangerous Man In Tudor England, on BBC2, with 1.6m.
Panorama also gave credit to the Telegraph's investigations editor, Claire Newell, as "2nd Undercover reporter". The film was made by Snapper TV, the indie formed by Philip "Pip" Clothier and his partner Rosie Millard, former BBC Arts correspondent. Pip apparently wears a snoring ring.
