Frank Skinner wrote about this episode in his eponymous 2001 autobiography, stating:
"I was incredibly wide-eyed and enthusiastic, and I really gave the Wogan show my best shot, ploughing through all the clippings and trying to find questions that the guests might not have heard before. This, however, led to an incident that left me feeling slightly more cynical about the world of television.
One night, the guests were George Best, Cliff Richard and Sister Wendy Beckett, the nun who did those art-appreciation programmes. [...] I had read in a magazine interview with Cliff that he disapproved of women priests. It was just one line and I think it had slipped past virtually unnoticed, but it was right up my alley. Halfway through the interview, I asked him about it. [...] However, when I watched the show go out the following night, my question and Cliff's answer had been removed. In the broadcast version, Sister Wendy, suddenly, out of the blue, started talking about women priests, for who knows what reason and, get this, they had even stuck in a shot of Cliff, nodding his apparent agreement as she spoke.
I don't know why this happened. Your guess is as good as mine. But I decided if I ever had a chat show, I'd want to have a say in what got cut and what stayed in."
