Our recent ruling with respect to websites comes into play here, because the BRG is never referred to in the dialogue of TCI, nor is its logo reaaaaaaalllly all that visible. It is only the tie-in website that gives us a solid connection.

The actual, explicit connection to the BRG is not in Ambassadors but really Remembrance of the Daleks, where Alison tells a Rachel Jensen who wishes "Bernard was here" that "British Rocket Group's got its own problems". For this reason, AUDIO: Threshold may potentially have direct information about BRG.

BRG is a nod to Quatermass, where it's more fully known as the British Experimental Rocket Group. There's nothing in Ambassadors that refers to BRG. In fact the word British doesn't, I don't think, even appear at all. All we ever hear is "Britain's Space Control", and that only from the reporter.
