Beeb Pulls 'Doctor Who' Episode With Disgraced News Anchor

[Mark Jeffries]

A 2006 episode from the second David Tennant/Billie Piper series of the beloved SF show has been pulled from the BBC's iPlayer streaming service because of an appearance by disgraced former news anchor Huw Edwards, although it seems only his voice is heard describing something happening at the 2012 Olympics in London where the Doctor and Rose, doing their timey-wimey stuff, save the day (I'll let you read the link):

There are people in the UK calling for a scene from the Bond film "Skyfall" featuring Edwards be removed and obviously, there is much archival material that the Beeb may have to have reflagged. And it looks like Max has pulled that episode in the U.S.
