Activities
In 2015 Lewis-Smith posted audio to YouTube of a phonecall to the late Diana Spencer, in which she converses with a fake Stephen Hawking, reportedly one of a series of spoof interviews which were aired on Radio 1 in the 1990s.[2]
Victor Lewis-Smith produced the film Unlawful Killing about the inquest of Diana Spencer.[3]
On February 28, 2017, Victor Lewis-Smith tweeted to the BBC "Shall I cut or rip it up? Pls agree to release the rushes or the contract is destroyed tomorrow."
The BBC did not agree to release the rushes of the Panorama episode, so Victor Lewis-Smith ripped up his contract.[1]
