Video evidence is from surveillance cameras is regularly used as corroborating evidence in court.
A number of people have been interviewed and charged with offensives from speeding to assault as a result of posting videos on YouTube.
Even if the TV interviews on Channel4 and BBC Business aren't sufficient evidence in themselves, they are enough to warrant an investigation.
I have a feeling that the reluctance to take any action, and all the buck passing by the police, agencies and the civil service is because none of them fully understand the internet let alone what BT/Phorm have done. Their policy is, if they don't understand it, pass it to another department. It also takes lot of persuasion to convince people that a national company like BT has been involved in anything underhand.
