Whose Research is it Anyway?

Author Kevin Cahill is to lodge a complaint against the BBC, claiming it has committed "massive plagiarism" of his book Who Owns Britain in the course of making the documentary Whose Britain is it Anyway?. Cahill claims that, despite a contract making him a consultant, he was never consulted. He said the BBC assured him the programme, which was presented by Peter and Dan Snow [his son] and broadcast on BBC2 this week, would be entirely based on independent research rather than his book.
