Feeling encouraged by the recent UK court decision in a defamation case involving politicians of Pakistan, I want to weigh if there are any precedents where state broadcasters in the UK were held to account over plagiarism?
Anyone who can offer learned opinion?

Unbelievable!
It was on Saqlain Imam for the most part and less on the BBC initially but seeing the edits I am further disappointed. BBC Urdu think it is fine to reproduce and re-narrate the exact same story, with the exact same references that I used and claim it as their own.

Photo of Atuallah Ozai-Durrani from his lab, excerpt from the PhD work of John. K. Biden, reference to the news story in NYT, excerpt of and reference to his patent among other things is all that I mentioned in my thread and yet the editors at BBC Urdu believe that it's fine to
claim the whole story as their own and of their journalist/writer while a passing reference is enough to satisfy the supposed journalistic standards and requirements. What a joke!
Going by their logic, one can pick any historical work or book, use the exact same sources mentioned in the book, tell the exact same story with a little bit of different words and he is good to claim to be the rightful author of that work!
How to explain plagiarism then?
