Life Savers - BBC 1 series, delayed / cancelled?

Yesterday I was doing my usual and deciding what programmes to record this week. There was a programme in the EPG called Life Savers on BBC1 and I thought it sounded very interesting. I attempted to record it, but Virgin Media would not let me, telling me the content was unavailable, today it has been replaced by Panorama with only a generic Panorama description.

Does anybody know what happened? has it been pulled? Legal issues? or has Panorama been put in it's place because of a big scoop about a government affair or something?

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

Panorama has been involved with the investigation into alleged dubious lobbying practices by Tory MP Patrick Mercer and some peers from the House Of Lords

Thursday's programme must be about this.

I think it's airways fascinating in these sort of programmes, when there's something like a bad car crash, how many people are involved at the scene and the hospital.


They don't need the stupid music all the time though!!!!!

I have no sympathy for people injured in a car accident if they weren't wearing a seatbelt. What kind of idiot do you have to be to do that?

Just watching recording. Had to turn over when it was on as rest of inhabitants as Mazzy Towers were too squeamish.

Since they crashed head-on, I am wondering which car was in the wrong place.

Very sobering but fascinating to watch 'extreme' first aid like this. Such critical work before they could even start to move the mother to hospital.
