Ah - a reply from the BBC Director General 10 Years, 9 Months ago

Simply confirming, to quote, that "No-one is excluded from appearing in our programmes if there is editorial justification for their inclusion".

Which is fine but then, why take Savile out of a non speaking few frames in the background? And why say "DLT shows will not be shown" - surely the fact that he presents them is editorial justification for inclusion?

It really is patronising the audience, particularly the audience of the channel these shows go out on. Is it really the duty of the BBC to be the moral arbiters? Art to be honest doesn't have many boundaries, does it? Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

The BBC isn't trying to be a moral arbiter. It's nervously rubber-stamping the decisions of other, self-appointed, moral arbiters. And none of us are doing enough to combat them and leave the BBC free and confident to do its job.
