The other day, as I was leaving to go to the pub, the TV set was
showing that programme where they put a family's belongings into a
warehouse and sort them all out. The snippet I saw detailed that the
family had over a thousand toys (for 2 children!), 61 coffee mugs, 13 guitars, and well over a thousand hand tools.
Yesterday, wanting to confirm the number of tools they had, I fired up
the BBC iPlayer, but I could not find that part beyond the toys, it was
as though the mugs, the guitars and the tools had been cut out. I am currently downloading the programme using get-iplayer, in case there is
any difference, but otherwise, I'm stuck and puzzled as to why they
would cut off a couple of seconds of the programme. Weird.

I've noticed stuff like this where bits are missing even on radio. Indeed on one particular program about blind sport one section was missing, and to bbe fair to the bbc they said that the music overlay on that item was only given right to use for the domestic market, so they had to leave it out of the podcast or Iplayer version.
Now surely this is carrying the legal angle to extremes?

I sometimes set the BT YouView box to record a programme and it just
about always Stops before the end and there no setting to add a few
minutes on the end of a recording.

No padding system?
