‘A huge cut above most backward-looking royal docs, this programme hacks through the thriller-esque knot of intrigue that led to Princess Diana’s bombshell TV encounter with Martin Bashir in 1995.‘

The Guardian

Broadcast in October 2020, this film was the first documentary to explore allegations of misconduct surrounding the way in which Martin Bashir came to secure the television scoop of the century – an interview with Princess Diana.

The film asks if Diana should be seen primarily as the victim of a journalistic con trick, or the author of an unprecendented act of TV theatre whose cultural impact can still be felt, 25 years on.
