Because it is a "public broadcast", so it obviously "Cannot Give In To Government Pressure": ▶ this video
▶ this video > But I must make one thing absolutely clear: there can be no question of the BBC ever giving in to government pressure.
Indeed, the BBC cannot give in to government pressure. It sets great store by factual accuracy. And if the defense of the realm is at stake, it has to be very responsible. See the wonderful documentary^W comedy Yes, Minister. ▶ this video
