"Good Cop" on BBC 1 Thursday 20th September 2012 Failed to record
 

Hi all,
On Thursday the 20th September 2012, I had "Good Cop" set as
a series record on my
Humax HDR Fox T2 Recorder.
This was on BBC 1 as SD not HD.
I went to watch it yesterday the 23rd September but the file was empty
with a "failed to record" label.

I then looked on I Player but it does not show up there!
Would anyone know if it was cancelled for some reason?

Thanks,
Mick IOW

It wasn't shown. Presumably it's something to do with those two police
officers who were shot.

Perhaps Auntie failed to retune the iPlayer on Wednesday ...

Yes, I remember seeing on the website it was to be deferred due to
showing violence towards a female officer.

I wonder if/when it will be on.
The Freesat Hummy started to record the substituted programme.

I do sometimes wonder if broadcast companies think nobody has an on off
button on their tellies though, while fully understanding the motive, it
does seem to me that the public is being treated a bit like fragile china.

Yet ch 5 seem to still show cop series which contain just such things on
their various channels. Is there a common policy or are we to assume the
programme which was not shown was far more than just that, ie near the same
conditions.

Thank you for explaining.
A downside of not watching live is not knowing of a program change.

One is the BBC, the other is Channel 5, so there is unlikely to be
consensus between them. And I think that the postponed 'Good Cop' show
has a particularly violent woman police officer attack, from what I
read, so I can understand the reasoning. One of those cases where,
whether they postponed it or they didn't, somebody would complain.

It's long been policy to be cautious where entertainment programmes
might appear to be relevant to a tragic incident. I can remember a Goon
Show being postponed because it contained a rail crash, and there had
just been a very nasty one at Didcot. I think it's a reasonable
procedure, even though this wasn't a comedy, where the drama
accidentally comes close to something over which people are still
shocked.

Hmm all the threads past this one till my post seem to have vanished on that
troubled identity. sigh.

I think the Good Cop story, which included a false call to the police resulting in an ambush attack and death of an officer was just too near for any channel to want to risk airing it last week. And in this instance I am inclined to agree as it was eerily near to what happened.

Except that that bit has already been shown and can't be taken back now

I thought the postponed one had an attack on the WPC, presumably the
blonde, which hadn't happened in the aired episodes?

"Written by Stephen Butchard - Bafta-nominated for Five Daughters -
Good Cop focuses on the responses of officers dealing with 999
call-outs. The opening episode saw a police officer murdered in the
line of duty.

PC Bone and PC Hughes suffered fatal injuries in a gun and grenade
attack in Mottram, Tameside, after attending a house following reports
of a burglary."

So it was already shown? I wonder if life imitated art by total creepy
coincidence or Cregan got the idea from that.
