Reading this I do wonder if there is an element of sweeping it under the carpet from the creators in a way. To keep something available to people but opening out with an explanation would be very much standing up and accepting you were wrong. However, if they remove the program completely they have a small amount of 'that program has a lot of issues' but then it is quickly gone and they can move on with their lives and effectively ignore it themselves. In the example of Little Britain say, if the BBC were to remove it from everything then it's just gone, and in a weeks time that's it. The creators, those involved elsewhere and the people who were in charge of commissioning it never really stand up and accept that they have done something wrong, and don't have to cringe every time they see a clip they created or were involved with have such a note at the start. They just sit back and continue tweeting about their new children's book.
