Are you saying that someone who has been convicted of something
illegal can never be employed to do something legal?

It might be legal , but its a legal representation of his illegal
activities. Its a bit like hiring a murderer to play a murderer on TV.
Oh wait , they already did with Leslie Grantham.

Your heading implies that the BBC is funding criminal activities.

In fact, the BBC has simply commissioned someone who happens to be
accused of criminal activities to do a specific piece of work for
them. Set decoration carried out according the instructions of the
owner of the set is not illegal as far as I know.

Don't be so naive.
