[BNM] (ot) BBC redesign competition

[Tom Hume]

In my experience they are a bit hobbled by being beholden to the  
license fee - and therefore having to be very careful of not doing  
things which might be seen to compete with commercial interests in  
the UK using taxpayers money. Lots of people argue that they  
frequently overstep the mark in this respect of course...
