Shocking antisemitic licence on BBC Dramas

Watch: The BBC is caught including gratuitous antisemitism in two of its latest broadcasts. We have no objection to the use of “artistic licence” to portray a character as evil or racist by giving them an antisemitic line. That is not what the BBC is doing however. They are using “antisemitic licence” that has no bearing on the storyline and is not justified in any way. What possible justification can there be for this? Thank you to everyone who reported these broadcasts to us.
