PANORAMA, the BBC’s flagship current affairs show, faces being sued
for more than £1m by Britain’s richest doctor after a “biased and
irresponsible” undercover investigation into his fertility clinics.

Mohamed
Taranissi, a leading IVF expert who has helped mothers give birth to
2,300 babies in seven years, claims the programme made defamatory
allegations about his techniques and has caused lasting damage to his
professional reputation.

Last week Carter-Ruck, the libel lawyers, wrote to the BBC on behalf of Taranissi, signalling his intention to sue.
