ISTR an entire closing link was cut out of a 1987 episode because of the usual Mike Smith mention, so that at least should go to show it isn't deemed too awkward to do that. Or they'll just cut the ending off of the show entirely, of course, as consistency understandably hasn't always been a priority with these repeats.
