Use of library material in dramas & drama documentaries
We should only use library material in dramas and drama documentaries when it can be editorially justified.
We should try and avoid causing unjustified embarrassment, surprise or offence to identifiable people featured in the library material. We should take particular care when re-using material of past events involving suffering or trauma or contentious material such as riot footage.
So far as is reasonably practicable we should inform contributors of our plans to re-use material when it may cause them possible distress, such as re-use of funeral footage.
We must check all original consents and observe any restrictions placed on the re-use of the library material.
