Writing to the BBC is futile. As in a waste of a stamp and the time taken

Use the BBC feedback section on the website - there is an obligation to
reply (although I'm not sure how much effort they have to put into the
reply) within a certain amount of time, so the chances are that you will get
your view heard by /someone/, even if it turns out not to be quite the right
person.
