I have to take issue with this - Panorama has also broken some important

stories, through the practice of quality investigative journalism. The

story of the corrupt police officers, one of whom was sent down for,

like, all day, springs to mind. Yes it was entertaining, but the

journalistic methods were sound enough to stand up in court, and the

main journalist's evidence was vital in removing certain corrupt

elements from the force. Well at least its a start.


The story could not have happened if it were not for over 6 months

undercover work, sound methods, exhaustive evidence gathering, and

serious commitment on the part of the program makers.
