It's probably not going to go down well with fans of The One Show, but apparently, the only slot BBC Content Portfolio Controllers could find for the very-publicly-delayed Panorama is 7pm tonight.
"25 years ago, Panorama reporter Martin Bashir secured his global scoop interview with Princess Diana. Now, a new Panorama team fronted by journalist John Ware has carried out its own four-month investigation, with exclusive interviews and revelations from internal BBC documents. This is the inside story of how Martin Bashir obtained his career-defining interview, and how the BBC responded when it discovered he’d faked bank statements and shown them to Diana’s brother, Earl Spencer."
It's been a tricky couple of weeks for Editor-in-chief Tim Davie, who has presumably had to explain to the Panorama team how his duty of care is different today to what it was last Friday.
I was taken with this online comment, sent to The Times. "In my early career as a newspaper court reporter, I was regularly approached by solicitors pleading that their client was in a vulnerable mental state and at risk of committing suicide unless we pulled coverage of their case. Thankfully I had an editor with principles. We never did. And they never did. "
