Webb — whose work has forced the BBC into unprecedented scrutiny — breaks down how Bashir allegedly used forged documents, fake bank statements, and fear-driven manipulation to win Diana’s trust and secure the infamous 1995 Panorama interview.

Were the consequences more devastating than anyone imagined? Webb explores the shocking possibility that without that interview, Diana might be alive today, living quietly as a grandmother at 64.

We dig into the biggest unanswered questions:

- Who was Martin Bashir—and how did he get so close to Diana and Michael Jackson?

- How did forged bank statements open the gates of Kensington Palace?

- What was Diana told that terrified her into believing people at the highest levels wanted her dead?

- Why did she record what was essentially her “last will and testament”?

- How did a bodyguard she cared about die only months after their relationship?

- What did the BBC know—and when did they know it?

- Why did the corporation spend over £1 million of licence fee money to stop Webb’s investigations?

Andy Webb reveals how Diana felt duped, hoaxed, and frightened, how rumours involving Tiggy Legge-Bourke spiralled out of control, and how the BBC’s internal decisions continue to raise questions about accountability, leadership, and the culture that allowed Bashir’s behavior to go unchecked.

If you want to understand the real story behind the Bashir scandal, the BBC cover-up, and the chain of events that reshaped the Royal Family forever, this is the episode you can't miss.
