But my fundamental reason for removing it is copyright, and if the BBC says it is not copyright then I will add it back. I have asked them.
Why? You claim that either it's copyright, or it's OR. If you truly believed this, surely if the BBC says it is not copyright, you would conclude it's OR and still leave it out for that reason.
(And what are we doing using British copyright laws in a Wikipedia run in the US anyway? Surely the BBC won't tell you if it's copyright under *American* law.)
In all fairness, since the programme is produced in Britain then British law would apply to determine whether the work is copyright. If US law differs the work could be reproduced in the USA, but not world-wide. Having the servers and company offices in the US does imply that we must consider US copyright law, but not exclusively so.
