But this just doesn't respond to what I said. Saying the original stories are the only parts of the event being endorsed by the BBC is equivalent to saying that the tweets from participants are not endorsed by the BBC. It does not mean that the tweetalong itself was not coordinated with the BBC (even if they're not officially endorsing it, those two things are distinct). Indeed, the existence of officially licensed stories in coordination with the tweetalongs only serves to underline my point.

As for your claim that there were BBC watchalongs, I think reading the Lockdown article would put that claim to bed on its own. Various other entities aside from the BBC did their own. The BBC itself hasn't done one. Unless we're doing the whole "The Radio Times is a BBC puppet" angle.
