Radio Comedy : Banned and Censored Episodes : Part 2
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.
Additional shows are being banned and cut all the time, and new recordings will be added to this page from time to time. These broadcasts pre-date political correctness, so they may be unsuitable for listeners of a nervous disposition!
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

None of these are actually banned

None of these shows have actually been banned, and at least three quarters of them have been rebroadcast by the BBC over the past 2-3 years. It sounds like someone has a bee in their bonnet ;-)

A very useful and informative archive. Thank you.
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.
Preserve our TV and Radio History.

Well done!!! This is exactly what is needed right now, as we're currently going through a Stalin-esque rewriting / reediting of history. Particularly the BBC, who are performing the most embarrassing, immature and over-the-top shutting of the stable door now that the horses have bolted. Someone is doing the same with TV comedy shows here - https://archive.org/details/@gbasource
Use JDownloader instead of Bittorrent

I notice that the Torrent link on this page is not working. 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.
Several shows not available for download through normal methods

They aren't included where they usually are, such as the drop-down menu for mp3s or the zipped/torrent downloads. You have to go here: https://archive.org/download/radio-comedy-banned-and-censored-episodes-2
