Have I Got News For You

Interested to note the transmission tonight on 'normal' Dave is at 820pm.

Is this the earliest the show has ever been transmitted, as it's normally post 9pm on all channels it's ever been transmitted on, both first run & repeats.

They've even mentioned the 'strong language' message too!

I remember Bravo airing a censored (I think they all were) episode of Street Crime UK around 12pm complete with Strong Language warning preceding it.

No. It was on 12 Midday once on BBC One in the old gameshow/lunchtime slot for about a week. It was about 8 or 9 years ago (just before Angus left) and wasn't edited heavily at all and were episodes from the first couple of series. It had some swearing in as well, with a couple of "sh*ts" left in. Terribly misjudged scheduling all round, and I believe the BBC got a fair number of complaints.

Yeah they only showed the first few episodes of series 1 and then dropped it - presumably because of the content and they didn't have the budget (or inclination) to re-edit them. Summer 2002 IIRC.
