Lots of bit of episodes are missing, this is because certain bands have been removing anything with their music in it, which is odd because it's not as if this wasn't in public domain already, on the radio.
Plus how did they know which parts to take down? They must have either listened to them, or some nosy cunt has been telling them like a pathetic little geeky fucking snitch in pre-school.
Oh and something was taken down from andyns (another Pilkington fan on youtube) and here is the letter he received (he sent me a copy):

Part I
Hi Andy,
My name is Victoria Wright, formerly Lucas. I'm writing an article for the BBC's disability website about how websites like mySpace and Youtube are increasingly being used to bully and harass disabled people and people with facial disfigurements.
As you've put a clip about me on YouTube which makes fun of my disability ('Vicky Lucas looks like Bo Selecta'), I would like to ask you a few questions.
What promoted you to make the clip? Do you think it's okay to make fun of disabled people in this way, even though it's likely to cause them distress?
I am genuinely keen to hear your side of the story. Please be as honest as you like. Obviously, any quotes you give me will be included in the article.
Oh, and nice use of photos by the way!
Regards,
Victoria Wright
Part II
Re: Interview for BBC article Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, they're responsible for the clip, but you are the one responsible for putting the photo of me on there and of the bo selecta character, therefore encouraging people to look at my face and laugh at me. Do you not realise how distressing that is for me and my family? And how dangerous? I am regularly harrased and abused in the street - do you not realise your video encourages that type of abuse by making it look acceptable to demean disabled people?
YouTube's guidelines state:
"We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we do not permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status and sexual orientation/gender identity)."
I would argue that your video contravenes those guidelines.
What do you think about this?

So far 7 videos have been removed due to copyright issues relating to songs, last time I checked tho most of these were still working on the website. Regarding the letter the same woman made complaints regarding comments made about her on one of the episodes when they were first aired.

Yeah I know, he told me about her, that is fair enough but the music stuff makes no sense at all.
