The last Panorama of 2008 09:25am on 23 Dec 2008 The Panorama programme was abysmal.

The biggest shame about tonight’s Panorama was that there was a half-decent programme fighting to get out there: the inside story into the events leading up to the bank bailout. But instead most of the programme was devoted to a bit-part egotist talking about himself.
