EP1 Why Are Vet Bills So High?

Jan. 12,2026

More than half of UK households have a pet. We value their fun, love and companionship. But vet bills have rocketed in recent years, increasing by almost 50% since 2020. Richard Bilton investigates why it’s become so much more expensive to go to the vet. He speaks to industry insiders and hears from dog owners and cat lovers who found themselves in a dilemma when the health of their pet was dependent on paying bills that could run to thousands of pounds. A recent report has recommended changes to a market that has become increasingly dominated by large corporate chains and asks if the proposed changes go far enough.

EP3 Post Office: Who's to Blame?

Jan. 26,2026

It’s been called the worst miscarriage of justice in British history. Hundreds of postmasters were wrongly prosecuted after money disappeared from the Horizon computer system. But who’s really to blame for the Post Office scandal? With the public inquiry due to deliver its final report later in 2026, the Metropolitan Police says it is looking at more than 50 'persons of interest'. They include managers, investigators and lawyers. Reporter Andy Verity investigates some of those responsible for decisions that saw innocent postmasters jailed, lives destroyed and reputations ruined.

EP5 Knife Crime - What Happened to our Boys?

Feb. 09,2026

Kelyan Bokassa was murdered on a bus in broad daylight in Woolwich in south east London in January 2025. He was 14 years old. A few weeks earlier, his friend, 15-year-old Daejaun Campbell, was also murdered in a knife attack on a nearby street. Both boys were being exploited by criminal gangs. Their mothers tell Panorama they knew their sons were in danger, and that they desperately tried to get help. But they say the authorities failed them. The local council says it's working hard to tackle knife crime, and that it is committed to learning from what happened. So how did Kelyan and Daejaun slip through the cracks of a system which is meant to keep children safe? Reporter Frankie McCamley traces the lives of two lost boys and follows the mothers left behind, who now want answers.

EP6 Framed For Murder?

Feb. 16,2026

Omar Benguit has spent 23 years in prison for murder, but there's no CCTV or forensic evidence linking him to the crime. The main prosecution witness is a proven liar with a history of making false allegations. Panorama reveals how the police built their case around her, even though they had evidence that discredited her account. Reporter Bronagh Munro, who has been investigating the case for ten years, also talks to witnesses who say they were pressured to lie in court and finds information that strengthens Omar Benguit's alibi. The new evidence raises serious questions about the police's original investigation and suggests he may have been framed for murder. Dorset Police say the case has been dismissed twice by the Court of Appeal and that its investigation was thorough, detailed and very complex.

EP7 The Rising Cost of Health Benefits

Feb. 23,2026

One in ten working-age people in England and Wales now claims disability or incapacity benefits. The cost to the taxpayer has increased dramatically over the last decade and now stands at £56 billion a year – four times what is spent on the justice system. Disability benefits have seen the sharpest rise, particularly among young people, and more than half of the overall increase has come from claimants with mental health and behavioural conditions. So what's behind the increase? Reporter Bronagh Munro investigates the spiralling costs and asks whether the health-related benefits system is fit for purpose.

EP8 Will Robots Take My Job?

Robots can already do many jobs more quickly and efficiently than humans. Soon, they may be better than us at many more tasks. In Silicon Valley, plans are underway for massive changes in the workplace – prompting fears that millions of people will be replaced by robots and AI. So, will this future bring freedom from work in a world of unlimited resources or a dystopia where millions of workers are discarded and impoverished? Reporter Richard Bilton investigates the rise of the robots and what it could mean for all of us.

Two protesters have been shot dead on the streets of Minneapolis by federal agents, and an estimated 14 million undocumented immigrants are at risk of deportation. Reporter Darragh MacIntyre meets some of the families living under threat and asks whether the president’s tough policies are working.

EP14 Antisemitism - Why British Jews Are Afraid

Apr. 20,2026

Reports of antisemitic incidents have risen in the UK over the last few years, leaving many British Jews feeling fearful and under threat. In October 2025, a knifeman tried to enter Heaton Park synagogue - two members of the congregation were killed. Judith Moritz examines how abuse, intimidation and violence aimed at Jewish communities has become more widespread, hearing from the government’s independent reviewer of terror legislation who believes the normalisation of antisemitism makes violence more likely.

EP15 Iran War - The Cost at Home

Apr. 27,2026

Shock waves from the Iran War have already been felt in the UK. Fuel prices have risen and interest rates are on hold, but that could be just the beginning of a much bigger economic impact on energy bills, the price of food and mortgage rates. Reporter Rahil Sheikh meets families already feeling the squeeze, businesses having to adapt to a world turned upside down, and experts trying to make sense of it all. What could the war mean for the economy and the cost of living here at home?

Panorama Audience Reviews

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

notom-23012 As 'News' or 'Documentary' this programme is absolutely WORTHLESS. However, as Propaganda - it's the equivalent of 'Lord Haw-Haw' radio broadcasts during the 2nd world war. It's sheer inability to convey true information is pretty much unparalleled, within its 30 minute boundaries, yet it still manages to push across the ideals and idea's of its masters.If, you really want to consider a 'fact' as truth - watch this sh*t and choose the opposite.

Chris Gaskin I didn't realise Panorama had been running for over 50 years until I looked it up on IMDb, it started in 1953. I thought it started in around the 1960's.It is the BBC's programme that looks into current news items in detail. We have had programmes about the Royal Family, politics, wars, the NHS, the state of Britain's railways etc. There have been special investigations into current stories as well.Plenty of different presenters over the years include Richard Dimbleby, Sara Barclay, Martin Bashir, David Dimbleby, Jane Corbin and Jeremy Paxman.Panorama is now usually screened on BBC1 on Sunday night at 10.15, just after the News. It use to be on Mondays at 9.30. Each show lasts about 40 minutes although sometimes it's on for an hour.Long may Panoarma continue.
