Revealed: BBC Tried To Stop ‘Gaza: Doctors Under Attack’ Producer From Making “Disparaging” Remarks Or Suggesting Final Version Of Documentary Was “Authorised or Approved” By The Corporation
The BBC's 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack' clause has been revealed in the week the doc aired on Channel 4 and Ben de Pear said he had been gagged.
The amendment states the producer, Basement Films, which is run by de Pear, will “ensure any statements issued or authorised by third party licensees of any version of the Programme are not disparaging of the BBC.” Yesterday, ex-Match of the Day host Gary Lineker said the BBC should “hold its head in shame” for not airing the Gaza doc. De Pear’s LinkedIn post came after the doc aired on Channel 4 to a strong set of reviews and a peak of more than 300,000 viewers on Wednesday night.
