Virgin Media programme guide censorship hits glitch
Virgin Media EPG
*Virgin Media's electronic programme guide's filter has gone into overdrive.*
Over recent days, subscribers to the firm's TV and radio services have been offered the highlights of the "Manchester City v A**nal" game and "Jarvis C**ker's Sunday Service"..
Meanwhile, movie lovers could tune into The 39 Steps, a "Hitchc**k remake".
In a statement, a Virgin Media spokeswoman said: "The altered titles have been swiftly an*lysed and we're fixing any remaining glitches."
The firm blamed an "overzealous profanity checker" for the fault.
Subscribers have been posting screenshots of the mistakes on Twitter.
Other examples include the Will Smith movie "Hanc**k", the panel show "Never Mind the Buzzc**ks" and the The Bleak Old Shop Of Stuff, a "Charles D***ens" spoof.
