Don't be silly. Anyone working for the BBC as a freelance is under
contract to the BBC. And will in general be under the same control as a
member of staff.

That depends on the nature of the engagement and what the contract says.

I'd suggest you read a BBC freelance contract. If you have a spare month.

do you really think that "million pound" talent gets given the same "take it
or leave" it contract that a freelance sound man gets?
