    The last 2 Sunday nights, my friend and I have been switching to RTE 2 at 8pm expecting to watch Inside World War 2.

    It has been consistently listed in TV listings, and last night (Sunday 17 December) RTE even put up an on-screen message at 7.50 that it would be the next item. However, both last night and the previous Sunday a nature programme actually came on instead.

    There was no message or apology from RTE about this abrupt change of schedule.

    It is bad enough pulling a listed programme at the last minute, but doing so without even admitting the fact only adds to the insult as far as I am concerned.

    Does anyone know what happened?

    According to the preliminary RTE listings and the RTE Guide there was an episode of "Inside World War 11" scheduled for 7.30pm on Sunday 31st December.

    According to the most up to date listings on DigiGuide that episode has now been dropped for another "Natural World" repeat.

    I don't know why though.

    For the record I believe it was this 3 part series made by National Geographic.

    I have now emailed RTE directly about this. I will summarise RTE's reply (if and when) to this thread.

    Yes, saw the first part last Sunday.

    Some good footage, but a well-worn narrative.
