When Diana, Princess of Wales sat down with BBC Panorama reporter Martin Bashir in November 1995 she shook the British monarchy and changed the course of her own life.


Bashir obtained this interview by - allegedly - using forged bank statements and telling Diana a series of lurid stories about her husband getting their nanny pregnant, plans to have her killed, the imminent death of the Queen and the bribery of her key staff.


Allegations about how this interview was secured triggered a crisis inside the BBC, a long cover up, a judge led inquiry and then - finally - an unprecedented BBC apology along with compensation payments to the many people damaged along the way. These include whistle-blowing BBC journalists and Diana’s own Private Secretary, Patrick Jephson.


Writer Andy Webb has spent decades investigating this story and is the main reason it ever came to public knowledge. His new book - DIANARAMA - is the full and definitive account of what happened, and it’s packed with shocking new details.


Phil worked with and knew many of the key players of this saga, including his former BBC colleague Martin Bashir, the Panorama team members who first raised the alarm about the interview and his friend Patrick Jephson.
