Product placement
BBC: (a) it ACTS - it is the publisher of the video, and its logo appears throughout. Removing it would change what happens in the video. (b) it merely APPEARS - its logo is a watermark. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. iPlayer: (b) it merely APPEARS - it is an end card. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
