BBC Has Received Six Complaints Against DJ Tim Westwood Over Alleged Bullying & Sexual Misconduct, Comes Three Months After Director General Said “No Evidence Of Complaints”

BBC director general Tim Davie has pledged to "never" air Princess Diana's "Panorama" interview on the network again and urged other broadcasters to follow suit. Diana was interviewed by journalist Martin Bashir 27 years ago for the network’s "Panorama" program. An independent investigation conducted by Lord Dyson found that the public broadcaster "fell short of the high standards of integrity and transparency which are its hallmark." The report also found that Bashir used "deceitful behavior" to gain access to Diana, including allegedly forging documents.

“deceitful behavior” that Bashir, 59, used to procure the 1995 tell-all talk.A source close to the production revealed to the Daily Mail that scriptwriters of “The Crown” have woven in findings from the report into storylines for Season 5.“[The season] will dramatize events surrounding the ‘Panorama’ interview, given the pivotal part it played during the time period the new series covers,” the insider said.“It will reflect what we now know about how the interview was obtained and how Diana was treated,” the source noted.Diana’s brother Charles Spencer said Bashir, who no longer works for the BBC, used fake bank documents and lied about Lady Di being bugged by security services to get the interview. Watched by more than 23 million people in 1995, Diana said “there were three of us in this marriage,” referring to husband Prince Charles and his now-wife, Camilla Parker-Bowles.Once the fakery and lies were uncovered, the late Princess of Wales’ son, Prince William, asked the BBC to never air the bombshell interview again.BBC’s director general Tim Davie said in a statement on Thursday that the episode will never see the light of day in the future.

The BBC’s chief yesterday said the broadcaster will “never” again screen its era-defining Panorama interview with Diana, Princess of Wales and urged other broadcasters to follow its example.

Tom Hanks is weighing in on Disney‘s decision not to cast Tim Allen in Lightyear.

Tom Hanks admitted he was confused by Disney's decision to replace Tim Allen with Chris Evans in the new "Lightyear" film about Allen's fictional "Toy Story" character, Buzz Lightyear. The 65-year-old actor was asked if it was "strange to be in theaters opposite a Buzz Lightyear film" as his "Elvis" flick rolled through cinemas at the same time.

Tom Hanks is puzzled at Tim Allen’s absence from the new “Toy Story” spin-off.

“Lightyear,” Pixar’s attempt to reinvent the “Toy Story” franchise, continues to struggle at the box office and has now drawn a bit of casting confusion from the real-life Woody star himself Tom Hanks.Chris Evans voices the titular character in the new film, which is basically the blockbuster movie that inspired the TV spinoff that inspired the Buzz Lightyear toy that Andy had in “Toy Story.” If that sounds confusing, you’re not alone, as Hanks added his voice to the chorus of those confused why Tim Allen had no involvement in “Lightyear.”When asked if it will be strange for “Elvis” and “Lightyear” to overlap in theaters, Hanks told Cinema Blend: “How about that? Why it’s not — I actually, I wanted to go head to head with Tim Allen and they didn’t let Tim Allen do it. I don’t, I don’t understand that.” Despite Hanks’ confusion, the actor was happy that Hollywood was delivering audiences more product as the industry continues to try and entice consumers back into movie theaters.
