Shame on the BBC! Other that for anonymous investigate
journalistic purposes, why should they wish to withhold
their number?

hi, don't forget that many legitimate companies withhold
their number too.
I work for the BBC and am always rather fed up when I call
somebody and can't get hold of them because they have this
'reject withheld number'
option on their phone. Very annoying.
I suspect many businesses withhold their number.
