The BBC's Panorama is to launch an unprecedented investigation into its own affairs in an effort to get to the bottom of how Martin Bashir obtained his notorious interview with Princess Diana. Last night Mr Ware, 72, who worked on the flagship current affairs programme between 1986 and 2012, declined to comment. Mr Ware is expected to team up with the programme's editor Rachel Jupp and producer Leo Telling on the investigation. It concluded: 'The BBC has been able, independently, to verify that these documents were put to no use which had any bearing, direct or indirect, on the Panorama interview with the Princess of Wales.' Mr Bashir is currently signed off sick after contracting Covid-19 and having a quadruple heart bypass operation.
