Tell it to the programme makers, use lawyers, you can get the programme
stopped if you energise the right channels. Wakefield would also be allowed
a right to reply.

From Paul Shattock, UK - OKay'd to share as this is public knowledge and
witnessed by many at the ASA conference.
I was at the ASA conference in Indianapolis a months back. Brian Deer and a
camera crew turned up. They booked under their own name. I was the warm up
act and, when I had finished, I went to the back of the room to talk to
parents. Then Andy was on and was as excellent as usual. As he got off the
stage, he was surrounded by mothers asking questions.
Deer and his crew pushed them aside, turned on their recording equipment
and attempted to conduct an interview. (Clearly there was no permission or
request to film.) Andy did that thing where you put your hand over the
camera lens and attempted to leave the room fast. He bent down to pick up
his computer and knocked against the cameraman. Deer interprets this as an
attack. Deer's interpretation is that his polite request for an interview
was turned down. No doubt edited highlights of this event will be shown.
