After a bit of on off searching on the net over the weekend I found the following about the missing episodes.
Thanks for that, at least we know what happened now. It would have made more sense to just make an announcement at the beginning or end of the show like they did when David Bowie died rather than have half the viewers thinking they'd gone mad.

At least we'll get to see the episodes but it will be a bit weird having them out of sequence.

Yes, thanks for the info. Honestly though, some people are just too sensitive.
A short warning that the show was recorded some months ago and makes references to recent events would have been adequate.

The way this year has started, I'd expect more postponed shows.

But just imagine the self-righteous furore from everywhere else, including the tabloids, if they had shown them.

I agree though that there should have been an explanatory announcement at the start of the programme. It shouldn't need someone going through the complaints procedure to squeeze the information out of the BBC.

We already know the postponed episodes will start with a fresh £1000 jackpot and we know the jackpot was won at the end, so apart from there being different couples it won't seem too much out of sequence.

To misquote Mr Fabulous from The Blues Brothers (pointless answer yesterday), Princess Margaret no longer dines here. She's dead.

It depends what episodes precede and follow. If the show them just before they start showing repeats again it will probably be OK. If they just randomly stick them in between other new ones it will be very confusing.

Still more lifelike than the real thing by the time he died.

The pictures were so small, I'm surprised I got as many as I did.
