The new season of The Crown has thrust Martin Bashir back into the TV spotlight, nearly 30 years after his headline-hitting interview with Princess Diana, caused a huge furore across the country and the world.
After all the teaser adverts for the new run of the smash hit Netflix show and the buzz it generated, before a single episode had even been seen, the series was released full onto the streaming platform on Wednesday, November 9. The fifth season is set in the 90s, with the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana under immense scrutiny as cracks start to appear in public and behind closed doors.
Dominic West and Elizabeth Debicki join The Crown cast to play the parts of the former couple and one of the most talked about moments of the new series is the dramatisation of the Panorama interview with Bashir, which went out to the world in November 1995, in which Diana remarked: "There were three of us in our marriage," in reference to Charles' relationship with now wife and Queen Consort, Camilla.
