Author here. Since you asked. This TV comedy included a plot point where some wedding planning software was shown to lose the seating plan. The wedding planning software was clearly a mockup (probably done in Powerpoint), but was clearly based on my software - even including icons I had created. I thought I could get some free publicity from it. I talked to a lawyer friend of my father's and he told me it would cost hundreds of pounds to do the research to even send them a legal letter. It was the early days for PerfectTablePlan and I didn't have that sort of money. So I just wrote my own letter demanding a public apology. I'm still awaiting a reply, nearly 20 years later.
