"Panorama" by Richard Lindley
Fifty Years of Pride and Paranoia
"Panorama" will be 50 years old in 2003. Richard Lindley spent more than 15 years as a reporter on the programme and, in this book, he traces the full story behind the programme's colourful and controversial history.Richard Lindley spent more than 15 years as a reporter on Panorama and is well known as one of Britain's finest political and current affairs journalists. In this landmark book he traces the programme back to its humble beginnings in the early 1950s and asks whether today's programme has achieved the goals set by its founders. Using interviews with all of the main Panorama presenters and reporters over the years - Robert Kee, Fred Emery, Robin Day, David Dimbley and many others - Lindley traces the full story behind the programme's colourful and controversial history. He tells for the first time the full details behind the 1995 Panorama interview with Princess Diana, the controversial programme on the Falklands War which enraged Margaret Thatcher, and the 1984 'Maggie's Militant Tendency' episode which resulted in a successful libel action by several Tory MPs. |
