One comment to the video explains the outburst of jBBC Panorama "Scientology and Me" reporter John Sweeney thusly:

"Interesting that some people should think this is a PR coup for BBC. What the Scientology people did is what reporters often do, follow their target around, ask a persistent question, and when the targeted person loses it, they will then broadcast the results in triumph. What Sweeney got is exactly the same tactic, often used by BBC reporters themselves. What's good for the goose..."
