Information About

Panorama (british Television Programme)




''Panorama'' is a long-running Current Affairs Documentary series on BBC Television , launched on 11 November 1953 and focusing on Investigative Journalism . Richard Dimbleby was the original presenter, during the 1950s and 1960s . His son, David Dimbleby , went on to present the programme in later years. It is currently broadcast on BBC One , normally at 22.15 on Sundays.

Probably the most famous ''Panorama'' programme of all time was the interview of Diana, Princess Of Wales by Martin Bashir , which occurred after her Divorce and in which she admitted that many of the rumours about her private life were true.

One of the most controversial broadcasts of recent time was the ''"Who bombed Omagh?"'' programme, which named those suspected of involvement in the Omagh Bombing . It is believed that the Real IRA attack on BBC Television Centre was a revenge attack for the broadcast.

The programme was also responsible for the famous Spaghetti Tree s hoax, broadcast on April Fool's Day , 1957 .
