I don't see a case yet. Factors which contribute to the gender pay gap are well-documented and summarized here: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/the-true-story-of-the-gender-pay-gap-a-new-freakonomics-radio-podcast

The gap is almost entirely explained by matters of choice and cultural pressures, most of which take root long before a woman negotiates her salary with her employer. We have to be honest about that much, or else it will never change.

It's possible that there's gender discrimination at the BBC, but the accusers need to do better than just pointing to wage gap stats.
