I remember last year the BBC was prevented from making any GOOD study guides because it would compete with people trying to make money out of it. Isn't this a little unfair - I mean, it's children's education. And the syllabus - surely that actually BELONGS to the government anyway? How does all of this work?
...although lots of people in the publishing industry DO complain that the BBC produces a lot of magazines that get free advertising (from their related BBC programmes) and may be taxpayer subsidised (via the License fee).
