Before anyone hits that 'report' button, this has been verified by the team

In fact, the guys behind this are the ones who made my Bald documentary so I can vouch for them

Would this be the same BBC who are so eco conscious that they routinely fly dozens of superfluous personnel around the world to cover major sporting events etc. when other broadcasters make do with just a fraction of the staff? Or could it be the BBC who recently wasted £1.2m of our money flying people around the world to reshoot their station 'idents' in Mexico and Croatia?

It's great to know that the BBC are so concerned about waste and the environment.
