Even though the BBC said they wouldn't take down the video, it is now not available to watch from their website unlike the other episodes I've clicked links to. It was aired last on 19 October 2020, but according to the Mail this was its second run, after it first airing in June 2020.
The episode was first shown in June, before the investigation was launched, and was repeated during October for Black History Month. It remains on iPlayer.
Martin Bashir: BBC journalist 'seriously unwell' from Covid - 22 October 2020
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54639674
BBC journalist Martin Bashir is "seriously unwell" with complications from coronavirus, the corporation has said.
The 57-year-old, who made headlines across the world with his 1995 interview with Princess Diana, is currently BBC News religion editor.
"Everyone at the BBC is wishing him a full recovery," a spokeswoman said.
Mr Bashir is also known for interviews with pop star Michael Jackson and the suspects in the Stephen Lawrence case.
"We are sorry to say that Martin is seriously unwell with Covid-19 related complications," the BBC spokeswoman said.
"We'd ask that his privacy, and that of his family, is respected at this time."
Background, it only took Earl Spencer twenty something years.
BBC to hold investigation into how Martin Bashir obtained Diana interview - 9 November 2020

The BBC has said Bashir is currently unable to answer questions as he is currently signed off work by his doctors. It said the journalist, currently employed as the BBC’s religion editor, is recovering from quadruple heart bypass surgery in addition to having “significant complications” after contracting Covid-19 earlier in the year.
The announcement follows weeks of campaigning by Diana’s brother Earl Spencer, who claims Bashir repeatedly deceived him in order to gain access to the royal as her marriage to Prince Charles collapsed. The subsequent interview made headlines around the world and turbo-charged Bashir’s career, as he won praise for a major journalistic scoop.
The BBC’s announcement comes as ITV prepares to air an interview with Matt Wiessler, a graphic designer who was asked by Bashir to mock-up the fake bank statements that allegedly helped the journalist secure his career-defining interview.
The false documents gave the impression that associates of the royal family were selling stories to newspapers, with Spencer saying this and other deceptions were the reason he introduced Bashir – then a relatively obscure Panorama journalist – to his sister.
The issue was investigated at the time, with the BBC’s former news chief Tony Hall clearing Bashir of wrongdoing in 1996, while telling the corporation’s board that the graphic designer who followed Bashir’s orders “will not work for the BBC again”.
Mail article, The UK and something starting "straight away", clearly bullshit then...
BBC children's show Celebrity Supply Teacher where scandal-hit Martin Bashir teaches children how to be journalists will remain available on iPlayer, corporation says - 18 November 2020
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... probe.html
Today the corporation announced it had appointed one of Britain's most decorated former judges 'to get to the truth' about whether Mr Bashir conned Princess Diana into their notorious 1995 Panorama interview - and if his bosses covered any dirty tricks up.
Lord Dyson, former Master of the Rolls who also stood as a Justice of the Supreme Court, has said he will start his inquiry 'straight away' by interviewing corporation staff and having access to available records.
He also promised Mr Bashir a 'thorough and fair' investigation following sensational claims the journalist secured the Princess of Wales's trust by faking two bank statements.
The BBC approved Lord Dyson's appointment this afternoon after new Director General Tim Davie ordered an independent inquiry into allegations Mr Bashir fed Diana a string of lies and smears to obtain his 1995 exclusive interview with her.
Lord Dyson will also probe how much BBC bosses knew at the time and whether there was a cover-up and said today: 'This is an important investigation which I will start straight away. I will ensure it is both thorough and fair'.
Mr Davie added: 'The BBC is determined to get to the truth about these events and that is why we have commissioned an independent investigation.
'Formerly Master of the Rolls and a Justice of the Supreme Court, Lord Dyson is an eminent and highly respected figure who will lead a thorough process.'
Bashir, who is now religion editor at the BBC, is currently signed off from work.
And as we see time and time again, all stories can be spun to an advantage...

Martin Bashir has quit the BBC on health grounds amid an investigation into his Panorama interview with Diana, Princess of Wales.
The veteran journalist, who was the BBC News religion editor, has been seriously unwell with Covid-19 related complications.
Jonathan Munro, the BBC’s deputy director of news, said in a message to staff: “Martin Bashir has stepped down from his position as the BBC’s religion editor, and is leaving the Corporation.
“He let us know of his decision last month, just before being readmitted to hospital for another surgical procedure on his heart.
“Although he underwent major surgery toward the end of last year, he is facing some ongoing issues and has decided to focus on his health.

ANOTHER COVER-UP Disgraced Martin Bashir hides under cap as he’s spotted for first time since Diana interview inquiry - 7 Jun 2021
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/15196150/ ... a-inquiry/
Eight pages of his notepad detailed false claims that Bashir presented in a bid to help him seal the interview.
He told Diana her phone was bugged and Prince Charles was having an affair with their sons’ nanny.
He used the fake statements to persuade her MI5 were spying on her.
MPs blasted the BBC over its failings and Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden hinted the row could lead to change.
He tweeted: “We will now reflect on Lord Dyson’s thorough report and consider whether further governance reforms at the BBC are needed.”
Tory Tom Hunt said: “Serious questions now hang over whether the licence fee should continue. The BBC should hang their heads in shame.”
The pictures in the last two reports look like paste-ups, there is probably some codes in those numbers.
