I've been through all this and, as you know, got an answer and apology from the decent Director General of the BBC (vilified as a result). Should we now take up the cudgels and demand all ARCHIVE records of the Mail expunge mentions and pictures of Savile? If not, why not, Mr Dacre? What's good for the goose…
I'm sure more than seven complaints from Mail Online Archive fans could be sent to that organisation.

The only problem is I'm scared they will take me seriously and quicklime the show and I'll have contributed to the further destruction of our cultural heritage.
I wonder if AYBS will be edited as Mr Lucus groped Mr Humphries and Miss Brahms.

A few years ago, the BBC released all the series of the Two Ronnies on DVD. In the latest pressings however, there have been changes. In Series 9 Episode 8, 90 seconds have been cut from the "Crop of the Flops" sketch, in which Barker & Corbett appear as "The Two Jimmies", introducing the show, doing the chart rundown and providing links between the acts. In the revised version, the Two Jimmies have completely vanished. A photo of the Two Jimmies on the back cover of the DVD has also been replaced. These changes also apply to the discs in the complete Two Ronnies box set.
