Your request was successfully answered - what are you trying to escalate?

There is no obligation under the FOIA for authorities to provide a name if they choose not to, whether you "accept" it or not.

Dear FOI Enquiries,

Your opinion is of no concern to me particularly as PANASONIC state they are not allowed to make the IPlayer App removable.

Therefore combined with your ill manners I wish your response to be reviewed.

Yours sincerely,

Chris Talamo

Who are you addressing? I didn't provide the response.

To effectively request an internal review it's best to state what your reasons are for disputing the response you've received.

Dear FOI Enquiries,

Please internally review the response as manufacturers do not agree with the information supplied. Whom benefits from NON removable Apps I suggest it is the gentlemen from Capita coercing their way into domestic premises. Unsigned responses I am afraid are part of the same distasteful picture.

Yours sincerely,

Chris Talamo

Dear FOI Enquiries,

Let me be plain then I do not accept the validity of the BBC response which I may add was not assisted by an unknown signatory.

Please internally review.
