Around 600,000 people a year report online stalking and harassment to the police in England and Wales. So, what does it feel like to be one of the victims?

For more than a decade, she targeted other business people and falsely accused them of crimes ranging from slashing her tyres to killing her cat.

#4 - The Truth about Baby Food Pouches
S73:E134/28/2025
Baby food in plastic pouches has revolutionised the way many parents feed their children. Quick, convenient and in a wide range of flavours, they are marketed as healthy alternatives to homemade food. But as reporter Catrin Nye discovers, some are worryingly low in essential vitamins and minerals, while others contain more sugar than the NHS recommends an infant consumes in an entire day. Six years ago, a report from Public Health England called for a tightening-up of baby food regulation as well as clearer labelling, but successive governments have failed to act. While the companies behind baby food pouches insist they put the well-being of children first, Panorama hears from dieticians, dentists and public health experts who all warn that parents should know the risks of regularly using pouches in place of homemade meals.

Reporter Celia Hatton has been following Chinese state money that flowed into UK business over the last two decades. With exclusive access to new research, and interviews with those at the heart of key deals, she reveals how the Chinese state was far more active than may have been realised at the time. Was the UK outsmarted by Beijing’s long-term planning? And what does it tell us about how Britain reckons with China’s power today?

Our love of online shopping means at Christmas we’re more reliant than ever on parcel delivery companies to make sure our presents get delivered on time. Evri is one of the big players in the parcel market but also one of the most complained about delivery services. Panorama goes undercover to investigate the pressures of working in one delivery unit, speaking to unhappy customers as well as couriers who say they struggle to make a living. Evri disputes these claims and says it provides a fast, reliable and cost-effective delivery service. It also says its couriers earn more than the national minimum wage.

Jordan, which borders Israel and the occupied West Bank and has a large Palestinian population, has seen the crisis close up.

Despite being passed by the previous government in 2023, the law will not come into force until the autumn. Reporter Rahil Sheikh speaks to families living with black mould in both social housing and private rented properties, and reveals how the home of one elderly couple, who say that damp and mould is impacting their health, is owned by one of Britain’s wealthiest landlords.

More than 100,000 children train at swimming clubs across England, many hoping one day to compete at the Olympics. But do those dreams of gold medals come at too high a price? Panorama speaks to swimmers who developed eating disorders after being bullied about their weight by coaches and investigates the role of the sport’s regulator, who knew about allegations against senior coaches but did nothing. Swim England has apologised and promised to learn from past mistakes. Reporter Rebecca Woods also investigates the case of convicted rapist Antony James, a former Olympic swimmer who groomed young girls in plain sight at the club where he was a coach.

Ketamine is increasingly popular as a recreational drug. So why are so many people taking it? And what can prolonged use do to your body? Reporter Hazel Martin travels to the north west of England to talk to users, those being treated in detox and rehab, and doctors who say they’re now being inundated by young patients in need of help. The government is considering reclassifying it as a class A drug, so is that part of the answer? And if not, how else can the ketamine crisis be fixed?

Both companies say they treat customers fairly.

#23 - Lucy Letby: Who to Believe?
S73:E248/11/2025
Lucy Letby was found guilty of unimaginable crimes – murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven more. But her conviction has become one of the most divisive in British history. A panel of international experts says there’s no evidence any crimes were committed, while the police push for more charges against Letby and a public inquiry takes her guilt as a matter of fact. Both sides depend on complex medical evidence to explain how the babies died. Reporter Judith Moritz investigates the evidence and finds flaws in the theories presented by both prosecution and defence experts.

But when the business went bust, there were hardly any diamonds in the safe. Now, both the cash and the conman have gone.
