Ah, thanks for sharing their explanation. That stills seems awfully weird to me.


It's not that weird if you understand the market in the UK.

As the BBC is a publicly funded broadcaster in competition with advertising supported private entities it has to be very careful to keep a Chinese firewall between it's commercial arm BBC Worldwide and the stuff that is done with public money otherwise the other broadcasters will jump all over them with the regulator and the fair market bodies.
