You saw it on BBC first
Article Abstract:
It is wrong to assert that the BBC merely follows ITV's lead. There are many examples of the BBC pioneering programmes which were then adopted in a slightly amended format by ITV. There is naturally some convergence between BBC1 and ITV, but BBC1's priorities are different from those of ITV because of the unique ways television is funded in the UK. 'News at Nine' and 'Panorama,' BBC1's key programmes, highlight its commitment to its remit and offer stability and security in a complex multi-channel environment.

Article Abstract:
The BBC has recently appointed a Liaison Officer for its soap series 'Eastenders,' who will be responsible for ensuring that the show's leading actors receive only positive publicity. It is also planning to vet new actors before they join the cast of the show. This approach is becoming increasingly common among television companies, and some are also running security checks on people who appear in advertisements.
