Jimmy Savile died in 2011. A year after his death, Savile was exposed as a paedophile, sex offender and serial child molester. Following the revelations involving Savile, all episodes of ''Jim'll Fix It'' have been indefinitely withdrawn from public airing, minus footage featured in documentaries involving his crimes, due to them now falling in poor taste. For the same reason, ''A Fix with Sontarans'', which was originally included as an extra on the DVD release of ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'', has been removed from more recent future pressings by BBC Worldwide as of 2014.
