This person was incidental to the<br />programme, however, we will re-edit it so that they are not identifiable.<br />The removal has nothing to do with A4E. The new edit will be available as<br />soon as possible.

What's worse:<br /><br />The bad publicity from a TV program showing you in your true colours.<br /><br />Or the bad publicity from attempting to control the said program hoping to stem the bad publicity.<br /><br />A4e no doubt sees the latter as worse if the above and some of the comments I've read elsewhere are true. And if this is the case, it will do A4e even more damage as it will simply provide yet another negative talking point and a stick with which to beat them with.imattnoreply@blogger.com
