"Panorama" is a long-running current affairs documentary series on BBC television, focusing on investigative journalism. The concept inspired the Australian ABC documentary series Four Corners. Richard Dimbleby was the original presenter, during the 1960s. His son, David Dimbleby, went on to present the programme in later years.Probably the most famous Panorama programme of all time was the interview of Diana, Princess of Wales by Martin Bashir, which occurred after her divorce and in which she admitted that many of the rumours about her private life were true.
The term panorama originally referred to the panoramic format.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The term panoramic format is used to refer to high aspect ratio or wide screen image format. Especially suitable for landscapes, where a lot of scenery can be taken in at a glance.Especially in photography, the panoramic format can be taken to extremes, like in this example showing Riddarfjärden in Stockholm:
(Larger image)Extreme panoramic formats in motion picture are also possible, but requires special projection rooms and projection systems. The first 360 ° installation was at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Another 360° was schown at the Swiss Transport Museum in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Panorama paintings were very popular in the 19th century. The Bourbaki Panorama in Lucerne, Switzerland shows a circular painting of 1881 painted by Edouard Castres. The painting measures about 10 metres in height with a circumference of more than 100 metres.
