The Republic group says that it will be lodging a formal complaint against the BBC about its five-part documentary “Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work”.
Spokesperson Graham Smith said: “The BBC’s documentary was biased,
deferential and unquestioning. Throughout the programme the royals were portrayed in a flattering light and ‘facts’ were relayed without question or comment.”
Mr. Smith continued that although members of Republic and other republicans were interviewed for the documentary only two brief comments were included in the programme.
He characterised the programme by the state media giant as monarchist “propaganda”. Republic will be making its complaint to the government appointed Trust that oversees the BBC.
