I think you appear on more than one edition with that song, you are correct the Savile edition won't be shown but the other one should be.

JK2006	I'm told the show has been banned because Savile hosted it... what a shame it wasn't presented by another host like - DLT... oops oops quack quack... hasn't life become complicated?
JK2006	Well Andrew, I was acquitted in one trial but convicted in the other. And as for those mentioned, some may have "got away with it", others simply "didn't do it". And hundreds more did - but "got away with it". In all ways - it's not the guilt, innocence or escape that should matter but the honesty, integrity and quality of the shows that ought, in my opinion, to count. We don't look at Oscar Wilde for morality; we cherish him for his art. We don't want the Pope for his musical skills but for his moral leadership. We need good politicians, not virgins. Crossing all the lines mean, as a society, we get mediocrity on all levels.
andrew	Unbelievable JK was cleared by the courts. Still there's always Elvis, Bill Wyman, Jerry Lee Lewis, R Kelly, Chuck Berry and Bay City Rollers who some how got away with it.
JK2006	I hear rumours that the BBC intends to drop the next repeat - which features me. Can this be true, after Mark Thompson (then Director General) promised it would never happen again? I'm sure it IS true - the BBC lost its backbone years ago (I think the Daily Mail was part of the surgery team).
