Benefit Busters Episode 2: Channel 4 pulls Episode 2 preview clips

New Deal Scandal can reveal that Channel 4 has finally pulled the preview clips for Episode 2.

It has caused great controversy when Channel 4 decided to pull the Episode 2 Benefit Busters show from 4od and Virgin Media On Demand service while scrapping the repeat showing too.

There was confusion where most people were advised it wasn’t available due to Channel 4 not having the rights to show it on 4oD On Demand. This extended when cancelling the repeat slot and replacing it with another programme.

Finally, we hear it was due to someone complaining as they were shown in the programme. Only as of today the 2nd September has Channel 4 finally pulled the preview clips (even though Episode 2 of the programme was pulled last week).

Has Channel 4 genuinely pulled Episode 2 of Benefit Busters due to someone complaining but forgot about the clips and have therefore only just realised to take them down?

Or…

Has A4e enforced a greater enforcement of banning all New Deal footage?Has the Government enforced a greater enforcement of banning all New Deal footage?

    it appears that the program has surfaced on you tube uploaded from apparently saudi arabia,it seems to drawn a lot of interest,however on closer inspection its soon realised this has been censored also,no doubt not everyone will spot this as its not apparent on first search only realising by the missing section id.movie 00 is not available “for copy right reasons in your country”.
