The BBC has reinstated the controversial 2006 episode 'Fear Her' on iPlayer, which features a news report during the fictional London 2012 Olympics. This follows the removal of the episode last year after former presenter Edwards admitted to having indecent images of children. The episode now includes a disclaimer about edits made for various reasons. Edwards' original voice has been replaced by Becky Wright, who delivers lines that echo the original's sentiments about the mysterious disappearance of the crowd. Edwards received a suspended prison sentence last year, leading to his resignation and withdrawal from honorary positions.
In the original version of the programme, Edwards' voice can be heard from a televised BBC news report when the Doctor (David Tennant) and his companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) travel to the future for the London 2012 Olympics.
The voice of Edwards has been replaced by voice actress Becky Wright for the fake news report, which comments on the 80,000 Olympics spectators disappearing before the Doctor stepped in.
