However, much like Prince Andrew, Bashir is given a significant HistoricalVillainUpgrade, as 25 years after the ''Panorama'' interview, his deceit was made public after he was subject to a detailed investigation and found guilty by the Supreme Court of using "deceitful methods" and breaching BBC editorial conduct to obtain the interview. Following this, the BBC actually returned the BAFTA award than ''Panorama'' had been given for Best Talk Show in 1996 (which had been awarded mainly on the back of the Diana interview).
