It was the BBC, so technically I paid for it! (All British people who have a telly have to pay a compulsory TV License - I think it's about £130 a year - to pay for the BBC). Apparently,the BBC pulled out of making the Leveller drama that's on (commercial)Channel 4 at the moment, which I can't help thinking was done 'cos they read the script and said, hang on, sexy revolutionaries talking about wage maximums etc.? We can't have that! Weirdly, when I posted a thing on here a few months ago about the Ian Hamilton Finlay BBC article that failed to mention the Revolution at all - whilst the camera swung over a Saint-Just speech carved in stone and followed a giant Saint-Just head being wheeled out - a BBC employee replied out of the blue to say they weren't biased in any way...
