I wonder why they chose to give Ancestry so much free advertising, and
didn't see fit to mention that Scotlands people now has the full set of
available census returns on line.......

Perhaps the equivalent programme on Radio Scotland covered the Scottish
1841 Census. If they did or going to do later in the week then I bet
they did not cover the England and Wales 1841 Census being made
available online - would that also be bias?


Well, Radio 4 is supposed to be "British" rather then "English"......

If they had sent someone up to Edinburgh to interview someone from
Scotlands people then they would probably be criticised for wasting
money.


They wouldn't need to. Both BBC Radio Scotland and Radio "England"
have resident reporters, but apparently the latter doesn't count as a
waste of money.

BBC Scotland employees get enormously pee'd off when a story in Scotland attains 'national' status and a 'big-name' reporter gets sent up to cover the story - as I think happened with the avian flu incident in Fife?
