They do it, so they roll better

What they should do is to offset them few lines, like they do credits for cinema or simple leave them as 25p.

BBC is not that great. They quite often deliver 50i, which is in reality 25p, but with one missing "field"! This is proper mess up. It happens when they load 25p source to NLE, which interpreters it as i, so you loose half vertical resolution.
This is bad and can't be fixed. Some big authoring house came to conclusion with BBC people that this if fine Sorry, but it sounds like a joke. I use to receive many masters like this and all of them were rejected, but at the end (after sometimes weeks of debate) it would come back fine
