Default IT'S TOAST!!!! BBBC change TG show on dangers of running level crossings

Can see why, but can also see an argument for keeping this on in light of the recent event!

Do you agree with the decision?

Someone died in scotland the week before on an unmanned crossing. So why the big deal now?

Its stupid - someone was killed on a level crossing - so lets not show something that warns people of the dangers of level crossings!

I look at it as natural selection anyhow.

I think it was more the 'tone' of the show.

I think that's exactly why it was withdrawn mate. I thought the tone was entirely appropriate; most of these kind of incidents are, quite frankly, caused by idiots who deserve to be patronised!

The facts surrounding the incident in Scotland haven't yet been published AFAIK: it could have been a signal failure, I guess, which would be a tradegy.

Even if this was the case though, I'm still not sure withdrawing the episode -without even acknowledging the reasons why - was the right thing to do.
