Obviously being at school I rarely saw any of this but isn’t it odd how “The Morning on BBC1” starts a good 90 mins into the daytime schedule...
Well, before the 'stEnders repeats it began at 9am, incorporating Kilroy, but the Radio Times could never work out whether it should be included in it or not.
Something I, as a 90s kid, just can't fail to notice reading the credits of these repeats 🤔

Anoraky edit watch: A Gary Glitter poster was left in yesterday's first episode whilst Lou and Ethel were talking about Nick Cotton walking away from the shop.
Some of his music was on in the background too. Not much you can do about that, though
It shouldn't be
too
hard - mathematically speaking, anyway - to subtract it from the existing soundtrack - at least enough that you could then cover up the residuals with something else.
It'd still cost someone's time and effort, of course.
I reckon it's simply that nobody noticed. Like that Tweenies episode where one of them dressed up as Jimmy Savile, it got complaints when it was repeated after he was disgraced, and it was then banned.

Is it really that easy and inexpensive to remove a background track from a scene that no longer exists in any “clean” format? Numerous programmes have not been repeated nor released on DVD due to rights issues with background music in scenes - or at least that’s the reason that’s been given. If it were relatively straightforward to remove this music then surely that would have been done in these cases.
As for a picture of Glitter (or Savile et al) that appears merely as set dressing (and is not acknowledged in the script) then I fail to see a huge isssue in its inclusion. Otherwise you’re effectively rewriting history and making out the person didn’t exist.
The first (BBC) series of Birds of a Feather featured quite a lot of music which they've never been able to clear for commercial release. Instead they used sound-alike tracks and dipped the audio only when the characters spoke. Makes for some very odd scenes.

But isn't that effectively what happens elsewhere?
