In this gripping clip, Andy Webb breaks down the lies, forged documents, and internal failures that led to one of the most controversial interviews in broadcasting history. He explains how Bashir used deception to secure the Panorama interview, how those tactics were concealed by senior BBC figures, and why the truth only emerged after relentless pressure, leaked information, and determined journalism.

But the biggest question remains: Why did the BBC lie about the Bashir–Diana interview for so long? Webb reveals the decisions and denials that allowed the scandal to stay buried, the culture of secrecy that protected the broadcaster’s reputation, and the internal politics that stopped key people from speaking out. His investigation ultimately forced the BBC into a public reckoning — but even now, Webb argues, the full story has not been properly acknowledged.

He also walks through the fallout: the impact on Princess Diana, the effect on her sons, and the long-term damage to the BBC’s credibility. According to Webb, this wasn’t just a case of one journalist behaving badly — it was a systemic failure that exposed deep problems at the heart of the corporation.

What did the BBC know? When did they know it? And why did it take decades for the truth to come out? Andy Webb answers all of these questions with forensic detail and first-hand insight.

If you’ve ever wondered what really happened behind the infamous Bashir interview — and why the BBC worked so hard to hide it — this conversation cuts through decades of spin and exposes the truth.
