Earl Spencer tonight appeared on another Panorama special, titled: 'Princess Diana, Martin Bashir and the BBC' which aimed to lay bare the full extent of the Bashir scandal. After the original broadcast in 1995, BBC management relied on a note from Princess Diana which appeared to exonerate Martin Bashir. It reads: 'Martin Bashir did not show me any documents nor give me any information that I was not previously aware of. 'I am grateful to Lord Spencer, Lord Dyson and the tenacious journalists who brought the story to light. Martin Bashir did not show me any documents, nor give me any information that I was not previously aware of.
