    Probably not upsetting the McCanns themselves but rather the type of person who seeks to be offended about everything and anything.

    Spineless decision by the BBC.

    Houseguest (1995) is the late film. Nowt to do with Hugh Grant.

    Odd, cos Houseboat is listed for BBC London (tvguide.co.uk). That said they did have a wrong film listed for the Horror Channel on Sunday

    I think the film on BBC One NI is Sirens, although the EPG says Houseguest.

    Amateurs, they should have stuck with The Girl In The Park

    Gah. I just wish people would stop pandering to this one family. Yes, it was sad, but to pull things for them? Remember when Gone, Baby, Gone was pushed back because of them? It's ridiculous!

    I could be wrong, but I doubt if the McCanns requested that the BBC pull the film.

    The BBC are still paranoid about controversy since Sachsgate, Leveson and the Newsnight/Saville mess. They probably change the schedule to avoid criticism.

    Didn't this happen before with Gone Baby Gone?

    Oh no, I'm not saying they requested it, merely saying that everything seems to pander to them.

    You'd swear only one child ever went missing the way the media constantly go on about it.

    Did they actually give that reason for pulling it?

    The Girl in the Park (which was pulled from the schedules recently due to similarities with the Madeline McCann case) is due to be aired this week.

    http://www.locatetv.com/movie/girl-in-the-park/5833091

    Tuesday Night 11.45pm BBC1 HD
    Tuesday Night (Early Wednesday) 12.15am BBC1 Northern Ireland

    Hopefully it will be shown this time.

    Next thing you know they will pull the Simpsons Christmas episode where Bart claims to the family, police and media via an emotional PR offensive that a burglar stole their presents to avoid taking responsibility for his own role in their disappearance and disposal.

    If you know what I mean.

    IMO, no. I went about half way and loaded up Flat Top an ancient WW!! spoof flick.
