For the purposes of this paragraph the word "actors" shall include actors, singers, mimics and/or puppets.
Permitted Excerpts refers only to Dramatico-Musical Works and shall mean excerpts where the use of all such excerpts in any Programme complies with all the following limitations: (a) the total duration of the excerpts does not exceed 20 minutes in any single Programme; (b) the use is not a "potted version" of the Dramatico-Musical Work; (c) the use is not or does not cover a complete act of the Dramatico-Musical Work; (d) each excerpt is not presented in a "dramatic form" as defined below; and (e) as regards Ballets specifically devised for television or excerpts from existing Ballets, the total duration does not exceed 5 minutes. An excerpt will be deemed to be presented in dramatic form if it is accompanied by any dramatic action, whether acted, danced or mimed, and thereby (and/or through the use of costume, scenery or other visual effects) given a visual impression of or otherwise portrays the writers’ original conception of the Dramatico-Musical Work from which the excerpt is taken. By way of example, an excerpt will not normally be deemed to be presented in dramatic form if: the excerpt is presented on a fixed set which is not based on the set of the original Dramatico-Musical Work. (A ‘fixed set’ would be one which is used for the whole or a substantial part of the television or stage show); the performer(s) is/are wearing a costume which is not a costume from or based on the original Dramatico-Musical Work; or scenic effects are limited to the use of either a single prop, and/or a backcloth or a piece of scenery (whether physically present or created by technical means e.g., lighting effects) provided that the use thereof is not combined with costume from or based on the Dramatico-Musical Work from which the excerpt is taken.
