Short story:
It is revealed that BBC director general Mark Thompson has apologised to music business mogul and convicted paedophile Jonathan King for editing his perfomance of the No9 hit single It Only Takes A Minute out of a repeat broadcast of the tv show Top Of The Pops on the grounds that it might offend viewers. Jonathan King had objected on the grounds that the edit was a Stalinist revision of history.
