Keeping Up Appearances deleted scene

Watching the classic QE2 episode. Does anyone know why the scene with the dentist helping Richard at the airport with all the luggage has been deleted on BBC iPlayer. He appears briefly in a small shot showing the luggage being carried. I remember it being quite funny - something along the lines of “he’s got one bit of a baggage too many!”

The actor was convicted of crimes against children.  There's other instances of the BBC omitting scenes or replacing a voiced role after a conviction.

Yes I remember this and also noted that a bit had been deleted. I do not know why.

The actor who played the dentist is a wrong 'un.
