Lady Thatcher is demanding damages from the BBC after it used one of her most famous quotes without permission. BBC/Flextech joint-venture channel UK History broadcast the clip, in which the former prime minister branded the attempt to edge her out of office as 'treachery with a smile on its face', during a trailer for a week-long season on the former Tory leader, but had not cleared the clip for copyright. Thatcher has teamed up with production company Fine Art, run by presenter Hugh Scully, to demand damages.
