Do you know something we don't? Wait, you're not THE Carl Waring of the BBC Stasi Polizei Legal Death Squad are you?

I didn't provide a link - that was Slug's for something else - do pay attention. The BBC's letter is probably already at your disposal, so you already know. Otherwise, you can find it if you wanted to.

You think the BBC would send a cease and desist enough to scare Mazz into removing the offending knitting pattern, and others from removing their own DW patterns (including a lovely knitted cuddly Tardis), and then at the end suggest, "oh, by the way, we'd be interested in doing a deal"? If that was how it worked, and this isn't simply a backtrack to diffuse the situation, then isn't the message "create your own stuff, and if it's something we haven't thought of, you could be in with a lucrative moneyspinner!"? May be an idea to get that cuddly knitted Tardis pattern back online now!

There was a whole page of knitted TV characters somewhere - lost the link now, but it did make me chuckle - the knitted Captain Picard was particularly funny! I'm all for it - it's rare to see knitting ever considered when it comes to merchandising.

To keep up to date, The Telegraph are claiming the BBC have dropped the legal threat against Mazzmatazz:

They're wrong, because the letter the BBC sent in the first place never threatened legal action in the first place...
