The use of the word "nigger" in the King of Hearts' recitation of the rhyme in "[[The Hall of Dolls]]" was actually still acceptable at the time of the original 1966 broadcast of ''The Celestial Toymaker''. Although the rhyme is still present on [[AudioGO|BBC Audio]]'s CD release of the story, to avoid offending modern audiences this section has been obscured by placing part of [[Peter Purves]]'s narration over the top. | The use of the word "nigger" in the King of Hearts' recitation of the rhyme in "[[The Hall of Dolls]]" was actually still acceptable at the time of the original 1966 broadcast of ''The Celestial Toymaker''.
