What makes matters worse, is that there are a few foundries who sell the font, and those versions differ from each other because the typographers used different references to base their font drawings on, or they made modifications based on their aesthetic sensibilities!

Gill Sans with Windows comes as Gill Sans MonoType.
Gill Sans on a Mac is Gill Sans Adobe I believe.

More specifically, BBC uses Adobe Gill Sans for logos, etc.
