Earlier today, all 6 episodes of Cobra season 2 were available. Now, only the first three are showing. I have V360.
Why does this always happen with VM content/catch up etc?

Hi,
Series 2 episodes 4-6 have been removed by Sky due to having some content that would be insensitive after the recent news concerning an MP.
There is no further information on if/when this will be available.
Thanks

Hi Melissa
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Yes I did think how so close to reality Episode 5 was.
How tragic ☹️ Thoughts and prayers to the MP’s family and friends 🙏🏽

Episodes 4-6 of the new series have been removed from Sky as well - it is a broadcaster decision on the basis of the news yesterday - for the same reason several programmes were changed on other channels yesterday, including the BBC dropping Have I Got News for You.
The loss of these has nothing to do with the reliability of Virgin's On Demand, and I am sure they will return, just a question of when.

Just for reference is a reply from viewerR@sky.uk (Viewer Relations at Sky)
"In light of recent events, Sky has made the decision to remove later episodes from 4 onwards from the boxset of Cobra: Cyberwar due to sensitive themes, and they will return to the platform at a more appropriate time."

...which is not a surprise or unreasonable... BUT....
It's no longer a box-set. The episodes that are available should be either the complete set or just CatchUp episodes for those already broadcast - and Sky then commit to showing the outstanding episodes on linear channels. Anything else is a mess and causes confusion.

I've seen several adverts across live TV today for Cobra: Cyberwar being advertised as 'all episodes available now'. However, still, only the first 3 are showing on V360, plus the 4th episode due to be broadcast on 5th November. I am presuming Sky have now decided to place all 6 episodes back on On Demand... will Virgin be doing the same? I'm keen to finish watching the series.

I'm on the V6 - I assume it is the same on the 360 box - all episodes are back there now.

Thanks for the update Richardr1, glad to hear this has now been resolved.
