PAEDOPHILE pop star Gary Glitter is set to collect thousands in royalties after BBC chiefs chose to show him on a Top Of The Pops repeat.

The shamed glam rocker, 68, was featured giving a 1977 performance during the BBC2 programme, aired on Saturday night.

But the decision not to edit out his slot on the iconic show sparked fury among viewers.

Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, was shown singing It Takes All Night Long. BBC bosses defended their decision. A spokesman said: “It would be inappropriate for the BBC to rewrite history, so the programme was shown in its entirety.”

Absolute tosh - the BBC edits programs all the time and cutting a "performer" from a program is hardly rewriting history ..... GG is patently one of the BBC's "favoured sons" .....

I don't think there's much point in keeping this open when it's an old story and there has already been a thread on it
