On 29 January 2007, the BBC news program
Panorama aired the documentary, "Secrets of the drug trials." This episode, presented by BBC reporter Shelley Jofre, detailed the behind-the-scenes attempts to spin the results of SmithKline Beecham's Study 329 of Paxil, which was published in 2001 in the
Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. (In 2000, SmithKline Beecham merged with Glaxo Wellcome to form GlaxoSmithKline, at the time the biggest drug company in the world.) This was the fourth documentary about Paxil produced by
Panorama, which had never before repeated a subject.
