Doctor Who Episode Returns to iPlayer With Huw Edwards Removed

The BBC has redubbed the 2006 episode 'Fear Her,' replacing the disgraced presenter with new voiceover narration.

  • The 2006 Doctor Who episode 'Fear Her' has been restored to BBC iPlayer after being removed in August 2024 due to Huw Edwards' criminal conviction.
  • Edwards, who originally made a cameo as a BBC newsreader in the episode, was replaced by actress Becky Wright in newly recorded voiceovers.
  • The BBC edited the episode following Edwards' guilty plea to charges of possessing indecent images of children, for which he received a suspended sentence.
  • Changes include altered dialogue in scenes where Edwards' character provided commentary on events surrounding the London 2012 Olympics depicted in the episode.
  • The updated episode now features an iPlayer disclaimer stating that it was edited for legal, contractual, or technical reasons.
