Robin Hood Robbed?
You know, the irony is delicious.
The original Daily Mirror report was very sensationalistic, suggesting the whole show will be scrapped. The BBC report makes it seem like a minor incident.

My gut reaction is that the initial Mirror report overstated things a bit, but these days there's little difference between major news organizations and tabloids.
And I wonder if the way this story was positioned in such a way as to increase its visibility, and therefore draw attention to the new series.
I know - I have this problem trusting authority figures. It's so un-Robin Hood of me, isn't it?
