The Curse of Clyde Langer was uploaded to iPlayer with the rest of the series within the last 10 days. There's been a few minor edits to remove all references to the Mojave Desert/Native Americans apparently. A few other episodes have also had minor tweaks I believe.

There's a part of me going "it's a 12 year old show, leave it alone!" but the edits are quite nicely done, to be fair. Some nice use of cutaways to hide dialogue trims - and I was surprised they even made a visual edit to one of the Mr Smith graphics.

I'm intrigued about *why* this was done - forgive me for asking - is it because this was perhaps generalising and stereotyping Native Americans?

(bib) That was the impression others on online had from what I've seen. My rudimentary research suggests there were no totem poles in the Mojave Desert for example. 

Also, from what I undertand, the original versions of the episodes are still on BritBox/ITVX.

More casting news for Series 14. Jemma Redgrave will return as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Aneurin Barnard will play Roger ap Gwilliam. This will be third successive showrunner Redgrave has featured under. There were reports of filming in Cardiff City Centre featuring Barnard's character last week, I've posted some more details below (seems there's no spoiler thing on here that I can find to hide it).
