Wondering what the beeb should do with the historic clips of him that are online? Given he fronted the BBC coverage for both QE2 death and King Charles's coronation, they can hardly erase/hide it all as they did with previous presenters like Saville or Hall.
Thoughts? [Post edited 1 Aug 2024 16:13]

Don't think they can keep anything involving him available for viewing. Maybe mute some content where he is not visible. Even DLT's episodes of TOTP were axed for relatively minor* transgressions (*in comparison with Edwards) |  |

I did wonder if they could somehow edit him out. But given he was a part of the historical moments it seems a bit bit iffy to rewrite history. | |

Erasing history is a dangerous game. I'm against it in any circumstances. |  |

They should do what Ridley Scott did with "All the Money in the World" after the Kevin Spacey accusations. Reshot every scene he was in with a different actor (Christopher Plummer). So they could drag David Dimbleby out of retirement to rerecord all those key news and election moments.
Actually, I'm with Facters on this, you can't just make history disappear. I suspect we simply wont be seeing many reruns of those moments in future, not without a heavy dose of context provided first. |  |

Could put one of those disclaimers on there like they do for programmes that were 'of their time'

Assume BBC radio still play Michael Jackson songs? Gary Glitter? If you start erasing content by or featuring anyone who’s ever been a wrong ‘un where would it stop? | |

Can't remember the last time radio played a Gary glitter song. Although The Joker film used a glitterband song to be deliberately provocative
Jackson gets a free pass for some reason | | | |

...when Jarvis got arrested for that, Bob Mortimer went to the cop shop with him and got him released on bail.
Then David Bowie produced some of his own video of the incident 3 days later and they dropped the charges.
Decent celebrity friends. |  |

Obviously I mean Michael. Look at the post I was responding to
And no, never found guilty. But there are some pretty appalling facts about him and young boys that sit very uncomfortably with most people | | | |

That's great celeb info. Next time that incident is brought up at a party or social gathering I'm going to regale that tale and everyone will be awe struck. TY Bloots! | |

What are these "facts"? As I seem to remember, there was a court case and he was acquitted. | |
