I found this write up archived at Stone Dead (www.stone-dead.asn.au) taken
from on old edition of Britcomedy Digest:
[Series 3] Show 10 had the "Wee-Wee" sketch in it. Chapman
thought that the sketch was broadcast, but it was not. The sketch consisted
of a man showing his guest around a wine-cellar; the guest drinks wine
which the hosts says is really "Wee-Wee." Unfortunately, said
Chapman, Cleese was furious...he was in a cold sweat over the matter. Palin
and Jones, according to Chapman, knew of this raw nerve that Cleese had to
toilet training, and in fact there may be some truth in the statement that
the sketch was in fact written solely to annoy Cleese. It also must be
remembered that Cleese was very unhappy and by this time had wanted out
[which he was to do at the end of series 3. The result was that Cleese
tipped off the BBC censors and as a result the sketch was cut.
