How does the BBC decide what to pull?

The BBC has a content policy that allows it to remove programmes if they no longer meet editorial standards or if new information emerges that changes their suitability. This isn't a snap decision; it involves a review process, as seen with Little Britain, to ensure content aligns with current public expectations and legal standards.
