    …and yet the offending clips were broadcast in full on national tv less than 12 months before trump sued, and the full documentary available to view on iPlayer within that 12 month period (I literally only watched it on iPlayer because of the controversy)

    Regardless, under UK law the time limit can be increased if you only become aware of the libel after the deadline has passed.

      Doesn’t matter. The window closed 12 months after original broadcast. You don’t get a reset each time its viewed.
