The Sun probes BBC Doctor Who screening

It may be the festive season but the gloves are well and truly off in the tussle between the tabloids and the BBC. Monkey hears a freedom of information request has been lodged by one newspaper into the cost of the recent Doctor Who Christmas special screening, which was held at er … a studio in BBC Television Centre. What may have prompted the FoI was the fact that as well as press, there were some MPs there with their children, including the chancellor George Osborne, shadow chancellor Ed Balls, Tom Watson and Charles Kennedy. So which newspaper is it that has taken such an interest in the cost of the BBC wining and dining press and MPs? Why, the Sun of course. Monkey is sure it will show the same alacrity the next time politicians attend a Sky event .
