The sharing, caring BBC

I'm slightly baffled that Panorama is finding it hard to get access to BBC guidelines from 1995 - the year Martin Bashir secured their interview with the Princess of Wales.

"Producer Guidelines" were made publicly available by Deputy Director General John Birt in March 1989, and offered to libraries etc. I don't think they were fully revised until 2000, under Greg Dyke. If shelves still existed in modern offices, you'd expect Panorama to have kept both. They might like to try Amazon, if the BBC remain intransigent. Or ask for access to.... downloads.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/editorialguidelines/Legacy_Guidelines
