Is that true? I thought that was apocryphal.
If anything it taught me how to read Roman numerals.

doesn't anyone send in new clips?

My theory is because they are still using clips from when the show began (1990) and they want to avoid criticism for recycling these clips, which might start if the dates were not obscured.

Just watching You've Been Framed and realised that on some clips which show dates the year is often blurred and was wondering if anyone new the reason why that is?

I remember watching it a few years and being baffled when you'd get some modern clips, and then suddenly '1 MAR 1990' or something would appear, I wondered whether people were going through their decades-old camcorder tapes and saying "Ooh, I'll send this in".
It does seem a bit underhand but I doubt anyone will notice that they're old clips. The only old one I remember is the guy who had a manure truck dumped on him, which must have been shown about 20 times...

I used to think that too, but they have the same cycle being your example and the woman in the bar who steps backwards and falls down the trap door or the woman in the funfair when she falls on the thing. This clip to be precise

I laugh a lot when they both come on, even though I've seen them about 40 times

Well, that's what I've always thought - if something's good, does it matter how old it is?
I try telling producers that, but they won't listen...
Where's my cocoa and slippers.........?

Yes but does it really matter how old the clips are? It's blatently obvious they're pixellated, so we'll have a pretty good idea they're old anyway.
