I must now eat humble pie and withdraw the aspersions cast upon the BBC in my earlier Posts. This has come in from them:
...BBC Enquiries - Case ref: CAS-3664402-SFVPZX 25/01/2016 - 09:26
Hello D#####,
Many thanks for getting in touch with us and apologies for the delay in response (we've been very busy!)
I checked for you and indeed, the stone figures are moving.
This is, however, by design. It was an intended feature for the segment and what was discussed at this particular time. It was a special effect so to speak which highlighted the famine victims but also the 'chilling omen' the narrator mentioned.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards and best wishes for the year ahead.

Can't say fairer than that ! It may be that their Special Effects people, together with the Loud and Completely Unnecessary Background Music Brigade, should be locked up as Public Nuisances, and the key thrown away - but then I suppose I'm an old fuddy-duddy.
My thanks to our generous Moderators, for allowing me to bang this drum (this
is the end).
