I've just caught about 1 minute (1 minute too long) of a programme called Hair on BBC 2......worra a load of old st! They'd get better viewing figures if they repeated Jim'll Fix and Rolfs Cartoon Club!

Not specifically BBC though. I finally got around to watching "Madness in the Desert" about the Paris-Dakar rally, and was surprised that one sequence showed a car with blurred-out logos on the sides, but was interspersed with still images of the same car with what turned out to be Gauloises adverts without any blurring.

That was a BBC programme smile

But you are right, you see it all over the place.

I suspect they use software to do this (hence the cats!) and it's to save all the bottom-feeders suing for showing them dodging work or whatever.

It's annoying, blame it on the continuous Americanisation of our country...

They've been showing that for ages. Another of their favourites is when discussing caring for the old is to show a shaking hand covered in liver spots trying to hold a cup of tea

I like it when the news report is about obesity and they show a load of fat fks waddling down a highstreet, but only from the neck down. I like to imagine someone sitting at home stuffing their face and watching TV and going:
"wow, what a coincidence, i was wearing the same thing today! Oh...."

The one that gets me is the CBeebies program Big Barn Farm. It features a real pig. A pig that has had its ahole digitally removed.
There's going to be a generation of children left traumatised after their first visit to a farm.

I prefer the old solution to the BBC's "naked pig problem" -
