The BBC has said that the ‘Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead’ song, which is likely to enter the top ten on Sunday, will NOT be played on Radio 1’s chart show.
However, a short clip of the song will feature in a news package, explaining why the song is in the chart.
“The BBC finds this campaign distasteful but does not believe the record should be banned,” said the corporation.
“On Sunday, the Radio 1 Chart Show will contain a news item explaining why the song is in the charts during which a short clip will be played as it has been in some of our news programmes.”
Further to this statement, the BBC News Channel says the clip will be up to 5 seconds long.
The chart show airs on Sunday’s at 4pm.
This week’s edition of Question Time has been moved from Rochdale to Finchley – the former constituency of Baroness Margaret Thatcher.
Joining David Dimbleby on the panel is: Conservative Cabinet Minister Ken Clarke; Labour’s former Home Secretary David Blunkett; former leader of the Liberal Democrats Sir Menzies Campbell; Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee and Baroness Thatcher’s biographer Charles Moore.
“To reflect the death of Baroness Thatcher, we are changing our scheduled location and taking Question Time to her constituency of 33 years,” said Steve Anderson, the show’s Executive Producer.
“Our audience will include people who voted for and against Baroness Thatcher, plus many young people who weren’t old enough to vote at that time, and our panel comprises colleagues and opponents of Baroness Thatcher throughout her 11 years as Prime Minister.”
Question Time is on BBC One at 10.35pm on Thursday evening.

ITN’s former political editor John Sergeant has told ITV News that Baroness Thatcher was easily his favourite prime minister.
“You were never quite sure what she would do or say, but whatever the outcome she never failed to make headlines.
“She really was prepared to cross the road for an argument, particularly if she felt certain she could win it before the big black door at No 10 closed behind her. She made my career.”
We'll have reaction to the news of Baroness Thatcher's death at the age of 87 in an extended edition tonight, beginning at 2230 on BBC Two.
