Summary: The complainant requested details of voting figures from the BBC programme -˜Strictly Come Dancing-™. The BBC stated that the request fell outside the scope of the Act because it relates to information held for the purposes of journalism, art or literature. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the BBC correctly determined that the information is held to a significant extent for these purposes and therefore the BBC is not obliged to comply with Parts I to V of the Act.
