[edit] Missing episodes

The final episode was cited for 11 December 2008 but mysteriously failed to air, being replaced by a repeat episode of Killinaskully. All reference to the missing episode (and episode four) have been removed from the show's site.

The text removed originally stated:

We look at one specific very low calorie diet (VLCD) - Lipotrim, available over-the-counter in over 120 Irish pharmacies. We interview several people who have taken it, and ask whether closer medical monitoring of patients and sales regulation of these types of diets is needed. Reporter Philip Boucher-Hayes looks at water safety and tests lifejackets and other types of personal flotation devices (PFDs), and discovers that a relatively new device, costing only €5-should probably be added to the list of must haves for all of us when we head out onto the water.^[9]
