BBC Execs Campaign Against Twitter Spoilers

An effort to gag the tweet

BBC executives are sick of Twitter spoiling their surprises. A group of the broadcaster’s big wigs are campaigning to ban actors, writers, and other BBC talent from using the microblogging site, along with other social networking tools, to talk about their work.

The Guardian says "senior sources" within the BBC indicate executives are rallying to include more explicit clauses in contracts that would prevent those involved with BBC productions from disclosing any sort of sensitive or confidential information.
