Answers

1. A recording on tape was played backwards live on air - just the start of a series of blunders that led the Channel Controller Cecil McGivern to pull the programme off the air for a revamp.
2. Today's Panorama theme tune is Aujourd鈥檋ui C鈥檈st Toi originally composed by Francis Lai. It previously appeared on the soundtrack to 1966 French film Un Homme et Une Femme and has been the basis for the programme's theme tune since the 1960s.
3. The Duke of Edinburgh was the first Royal to be interviewed on television when he appeared on Panorama with Richard Dimbleby in 1961. He was interviewed about the Commonwealth Technical Training Week, which was launched that day at the Guildhall.
4. Dennis Bardens was the programme's first editor who chose the name Panorama because of the panoramic view from his office. Other names considered were Eye on the World, Its Happening Now and Vista.
5. Panorama was the first programme to feature the birth of a baby on television. The clip was censored to show just the baby's head but this still caused upset in the tabloid press.
6. A record 22.8 million people tuned in to Panorama to watch Martin Bashir interview Princess Diana in 1995. This remains the programme's largest audience to date.
7. Panorama's first broadcast was at 8.15pm on Wednesday 11 November 1953. It has remained a fixture of the 91热爆 schedules ever since.
8. On April Fool's Day, 1957, Panorama broadcast an apparently serious account of spaghetti harvesting from trees in Switzerland. The 91热爆 switchboard lit up as hundreds of fooled viewers called in.
9. Both Richard and David Dimbleby have presented Panorama. Richard Dimbleby was the first big name to join the team presenting the programme from 1955 until his death in 1965. His son David joined the programme in 1974 as it celebrated its 21st anniversary.
10. Panorama is on Mondays at 8.30pm but keep checking the webiste to make sure you don't miss any special one-off programmes we've got coming up.
