Re: Cliff Richard to sue the BBC
The difference is that this was broadcast live before any charges were made and the worldwide damage to CR's reputation and business interests would have been huge from that moment on and quite possibly permanent. That's why he'll be suing, for damages and good luck to him. It's not quite the same for some previously unknown person shown on a TV show but I bet a good number of cases intended for broadcast are dropped before ever being aired because the individuals concerned have complained that they were innocent.
