BBC/TVL work to the data protection principle that a name can only be used for 6 months from the point they last had it "confirmed". After that, communications revert to "The Legal Occupier" unless/until they have a name confirmed again.
That used to be pretty definitive and people went for years and years without receiving letters addressed to them by name. But BBC/TVL have dabbled with commercially-acquired data a number of times, and are doing so at the moment.1
