Jackson complains to UK watchdog

Michael Jackson has made an official complaint to the Independent Television Commission and the Broadcasting Standards Commission in the UK about the documentary 'Living With Michael Jackson'.

His lawyers allege the Martin Bashir programme "contains the clear innuendo that Mr Jackson is guilty of inappropriate behaviour with children."

They also claimed the documentary, which was aired earlier this week, was an infringement of his privacy.

In his complaint, Jackson said he was "not given any prior warning ... of Martin Bashir's intention to interview me about a 1993 allegation of child molestation or of their intention to link that allegation with my friendship with Gavin Arvezo."

He said the programme also included film taken of his children "contrary to my express consent".
