Cuts to archive repeats
Dear British Broadcasting Corporation,
It has come to my attention that recent archive repeats on BBC Radio 4 Extra are being cut, with edits made to the original broadcast editions. This has resulted in potentially "offensive" material being removed from comedy programmes including Hancock's Half Hour, Much Binding in the Marsh, Round the Horne and I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again. I would like a list of all the radio programmes which have been cut when repeated since 2018, with details of the edits to the programmes which have been made, and the reasons for these edits.
Yours faithfully,
Mr T Morgan
