More on Panorama
Description from Wikipedia:
Panorama is the longest-running current affairs documentary series in the world. Launched on 11 November 1953 on BBC television, it focuses on investigative journalism. Daily Mail reporter Pat Murphy was the original presenter, only lasting one episode after accidentally broadcasting a technical mishap. Max Robertson then took over for a year. Originally the programme was more of a magazine format and included arts features. Richard Dimbleby took over in 1955 and presented it during the 1950s and 1960s. His son, David Dimbleby, went on to present the programme in later years. The programme is currently presented by Jeremy Vine.
Panorama set an example for the German magazine show of the same name, which is produced by NDR, and broadcast on Das Erste. Panorama started there in 1961 and is one of the leading political magazine shows.
