Repeats of Portillo's Great Railway Journeys

[ejstubbs]

I've noticed that some recent repeat showings of series of both Great British Railway Journeys and Great Continental Railway Journeys seem to have been missing the odd episode.  This was on the BBC, not Yesterday.  Examples I've noticed are:

• In the recent re-run of series 7 of GBRJ, episode 13 "Stroud to Bath" was not broadcast
• In the current re-run of series 3 of GCRJ, the second part of the "Tula to Saint Petersburg" episode was not broadcast (they seem to split the original hour long episodes of this series into half hour chunks for rebroadcasting)

Anyone know why this might be?  Pure carelessness?  Licensing issues with some of the material in the programme?

 

It seems especially odd because each programme that is broadcast still has the "in the next leg of my journey I will be..." segment at the end, even if the 'next leg' isn't broadcast.

 

I have tried contacting the Beeb about it but have received no reply.
