Radio Comedy : Banned and Censored Episodes
Presented on this page are episodes of British radio comedies and dramas which the BBC has banned or censored during the 21st Century culture wars, for allegedly being politically incorrect. These are the complete original broadcasts, presented as originally aired, before any cuts were made for political reasons. Many are rare as they are no longer broadcast, having been banned by the BBC.
This collection highlights the ongoing issue of censorship in media, showcasing broadcasts that pre-date political correctness and may be unsuitable for listeners of a nervous disposition. Check back regularly for new items as additional shows are being banned and cut all the time.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Do you have any better quality recordings?

If you have a recording of a banned or censored episode that is NOT included here, please open a free account on the Internet Archive and upload the recording to it, then leave a note of the page address in a comment (a 'Review') here. Also, if you have a better quality recording than one that is preserved here, please upload it to the Internet Archive, and post a note of the page address in a comment here. By better quality, I mean a recording with a better bitrate, such as a recording in an uncompressed format (for example, on a CD) where I only have it here as an mp3 file. If you do have an episode on CD, it is almost sure to be a better quality version than any file currently preserved here, as I have access to very few CD recordings. Leave a comment here if you need help converting a CD or a tape into a digital format, and I will help you. Help save our radio comedy heritage. Albie, if you had bothered to read the text of the link you posted, you would have noticed the section headed 'Broadcasts', which says that the copyright lasts for: "50 years from the year in which the broadcast was made."
Over half of the episodes are not available for zipped or torrent download...

...which means manually downloading them. I guess when you add titles after creating the page, that's what happens. I noticed the same issues with Banned and Censored #2. I don't know if you're still uploading, but I think a lot of people might appreciate it if you created a new page instead of uploading to a page that already exists. Hopefully it's not too much more effort on your part.

Archive.org torrents are often broken, especially for archives that receive edits and updates. Use a download manager instead. I recommend jdownloader (https://jdownloader.org) which is highly compatible with this site.
Banned lol

You wrong whingers just love to make out you're being persecuted. If they were actually banned you'd be in prison for publishing them. 😂
