Sunday Times exposé of product placement advertising on the BBC, this week’s Sunday Times has an amusing follow-up, BBC quietly pulls a plug on Spooks – it seems that following last week’s uproar the BBC have quietly doctored the third episode of Spooks on BBC1 to cover up a prominent Apple Computer logo:
On Friday the BBC press office initially claimed that the cut scenes had appeared only on a preview tape and were picked up during a final edit before going on air.
The corporation’s spin doctors did not appear to realise that the scenes had already been broadcast on BBC3 and were doctored only after The Sunday Times article.
Later a spokesman said: “We are looking into why that version — that was not the final edit — went out.”
Yeah, right!
Liars.
its a cover up!
what did the bbc know and when did it know it.
the Apple logo is clearly displayed on the laptop placed on the desk of BBC newsreaders.
bbc embarrassed shocker!
