That's total rubbish, why on earth should the BBC have to pay for the post offices mistake. Anything can "look like" a bomb depending on how its wrapped packed. So they sent a minicam in the post, that's not a "farce" nor should the BBC be in any way liable. Any member of the public could post something that might look suspicious, if it is they check, if it isn't it carries on its way. What a load of rubbish.

I'd hardly call responding to a suspected terrorist threat a 'mistake' - while I agree with the rest of what you've written you have to remember the BBC is a high-profile target and things are tense in Northern Ireland!

Reminds me of an incident not long after 11/9/2001 and during the anthrax scare in the US. One of the presenters I worked with had an 'admirer' and he decided to send her a perfumed letter. The substance he decided to use to achieve this was.... talcum powder!

What makes me laugh is the police commissioner saying the public shouldn't have to foot the bill and then saying he'll send the bill to the BBC. Perhaps someone should point out to him how they're funded! He even has the cheek to demand the BBC launch an enquiry which would probably take the cost of the whole matter from £14,000 to probably significantly more than that.
It's little more than an honest mistake on all parts - the BBC were just doing their job and the police and courier company theres.

Just notices these nice pictures, some panoramic of the studios in Broadcasting House. My favourite is on the News tab. http://www.bbc.co.uk/contact#news

Some decent shots on the Red Button of the Salford Sports operation on 'deadline day' Dan Walker moving around talking to colleagues at desks etc..

Interesting. Transfer deadline day seems to have lost its sparkle in recent years, so it's a little bit surprising to see the BBC put something like this together. Also, on Freeview anyway, its in SD only (at the moment).

Are you joking? If anything it's the exact opposite is true. Far more hype about it in recent years especially since they extended the deadline.

Good evening,
I took some photographs of TVC just before it closed earlier this year and BBC staff (including myself) were cleared out: http://mikeosbornphoto.com/2013/03/17/goodbye-television-centre/
Your response on this thread was astonishing and I'd like to thank you for that.
A selection of the images are now readily available and more can be on request:

Apologies for the shameless plug, but I'd concluded that you might be interested to find out about this.
With best wishes,
Mike
