Todays Are You being served on BBC2, was in memory of Frank Thornton who played Captain Peacock, nice thing to do but a bit late, as on the 13 March he would have been dead a year

    They repeated the episode, "Grounds for Divorce", on BBC Two when he died in March last year. They haven't removed the "In Memory of" from it.

    Thanks I thought it wouldn't have been like the BBC to wait a year

    What normally happens with different edits of shows? Are these normally kept in the archive?

    The Dad's Army episode that was recoloured & restored a few years back had the special acknowledgements on the end at the time, but the latest repeat last year had these snipped off, to make it appear like a regular episode.
