Why?
Do they own Silbury?
No, just control what does or doesn't go on in there, and who does or doesn't get to see (and record) it.
Must say out of all the articles in the papers recently The Daily Mail has been the only one to come close to holding the BBC to account - pity the Mail didn't also mention Atkinson's little 'contribution' to that particular 'act of archaeological vandalism' as well: nice turn of phrase that. Once the Atkinson/BBC door and lintel have been removed perhaps they could be labelled and displayed in the Alexander Keiller Museum as, "Items representing acts of archaeological vandalism to one of the most extraordinary and impressive ancient monuments in Britain, if not the world."
