The Bike Show (a radio show I present each week on Resonance FM) featured the HGV issue for the entirety of the show this week. Obviously in a half hour there's only so much one can say but I hope that it's interesting.
Featuring Cynthia Barlow (who lost her adult daughter in 2000, to a cement mixer), chair of Road Peace. Cynthia has done more to push the HGV/cyclist issue than anyone out there, particularly in relation to construction vehicles.
Also Barry Mason, chair of Southwark Cyclists, who attended the inquest last week into the death of Nga Diep, a 33 year old woman, run over while cycling by a skip lorry in Bermondsey earlier this year.

To the original poster's question. Try a Google News search for all years, on the terms "hgv" "cyclist" "death" and you'll find more material than you could possibly fit in a single edition of Panorama.
