BBC spending to defend The Stig

The BBC is taking book publisher HarperCollins to court in order to suppress the publication of an autobiography that threatens to reveal the identity of Top Gear’s The Stig.

The publisher has attacked the corporation for spending licence fee money on the case.

The case has reached the High Court, but has been adjourned until next week.
