Panorama wormhole

It's hard to believe that timing may have scuppered Panorama's investigation into Panorama. 

BBC current affairs' bosses love nothing more than the self-applied corporate scourge and flail, arguing that a deep-dive into potential journalistic misbehaviour of yesteryear demonstrates how absolutely clean hands are now. 

Lord Dyson was appointed on November 18, 2020, to investigate how Martin Bashir secured his interview with Princess Diana back in 1995.  He said it would take six months. Six months is up on Monday.  Surely the target of the current Panorama team must have been an April broadcast, to de-risk the possibility that Lord Dyson finds something they didn't, rendering their work out-of-date. Or have other levers been pulled to delay this new show ?   Maybe we need another Panorama....
