Huw Edwards-Featuring Episodes of ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Great British Menu’ Pulled by BBC, Mural in Hometown Painted Over as Fallout Continues
variety.comNaman Ramachandran The BBC has removed a “Doctor Who” episode featuring former newsreader Huw Edwards from its iPlayer service, while a mural of him has been painted over in his home village, BBC News reports.
Upon accessing iPlayer, Variety discovered that the 2022 and 2023 dessert finals of “The Great British Menu,” where Edwards appeared as a judge, have also been removed.
These actions come in the wake of Edwards admitting to possessing indecent images of children. The “Doctor Who” episode, “Fear Her,” was part of David Tennant’s debut season as the Doctor in 2006.
Edwards’ voice, playing himself, can be heard during a news program that’s part of the episode. Variety has approached the BBC for comment on the episode removal and had not heard back by press time.
