Yeah, exactly.

And you mentioned earlier that there's a TV network behind this show, Channel 4.

Have they responded to the allegations?

They certainly have.

The BBC said before Panorama went to air that Channel 4 was aware of at least some of these allegations.

They commissioned an external review into welfare on the show last month.

So before the investigation.

We didn't know about that publicly.

We do know about it now.

And Channel 4 said that it started to look into these wellbeing concerns after it received serious allegations of wrongdoing.

Since the BBC broadcast, Channel 4 has actually removed every single ep of Maths UK from its platforms.

All 10 seasons gone, which is really significant.

All presence of the show on socials have also been removed.

And that extends to here in Australia.

Every ep of Maths UK has been stripped from Channel 9, 9Now and its streaming platforms.

The CEO of Channel 4, Priya Dogra, said the wellbeing of contestants is, quote, always of paramount importance, but she said the allegations have been disputed by those accused and she maintained that Channel 4, quote, acted quickly, appropriately, sensitively and with wellbeing front and centre.

Okay, so just to clarify, you can't watch Maths UK here or over in the UK legally?

Not legally, yeah.

That is so interesting and obviously shows they're taking it very seriously.

Oh, a massive step because, you know, if there are criminal proceedings, as we've discussed, some of those episodes could become evidence.
