The scriptwriter probably did. They've been caught out before - writing the obituary for one of their own employees, Ronnie Hazlehurst. Someone edited the wiki page for Hazlehurst just before the journalists got there.

In this case though, I guess the scriptwriter had heard of Stephen Oppenheimer. But, what do you expect from an organisation whose premier news programme expresses surprise on learning that "stonehenge is not the archetypal anglo saxon site we all thought it was?" or makes such statements as "in the year 800 Greenland was known as Vinland and it was warm enough to grow grapes there".
