Cowell takes on BBC in talent show row

British music mogul Simon Cowell is considering suing the BBC claiming they stole the idea of his next TV talent show.

Both Cowell and the BBC recently announced new shows that would team pop stars with non-singing celebrities - but the American Idol judge claims his Star Duets has been in development for longer and has warned the corporation it risks copyright breach by going ahead with plans for The Two Of Us.
