THERE are calls for the BBC to launch an investigation into claims members of staff were planted into the audience of a Northern Irish TV show.
that the claims were “highly improbable” and refused to open an investigation.
“The claims that have been made about BBC staff contributing to Nolan Live discussions whilst pretending to be members of the public are highly improbable,” a statement from the BBC read. “We are aware of no evidence to support such allegations or the breach of editorial controls that they would have involved. If such information is made available to us then it will be quickly and thoroughly investigated – just as our audiences would expect.”
“The basic requirement is that claims must be factual in order to be true, and this is the test that we will apply. We take pride in the integrity of BBC programmes and the trust that audiences have in our work.”The BBC has said it cannot comment on the allegations regarding Nolan’s alleged sending of sexually explicit images as it must consider fairness and confidentiality when handling such a complaint.
