It's not that it got banned.
It was made by the BBC, and I think that it was after they aired it there were some who thought it was a little too harsh, though I have to say my memory is a little fuzzy; It is a few years ago now.
I don't remember if they showed it and then got complaints, or if after making it they decided to go with another version, and then this one got released on to the internet.
The BBC is paid for by the TV licence, and they have a duty to be fair and balanced, and they decided to play it safe and not show it again.
Someone else from Britain might remember it more clearly, but it wasn't really a ban, per se.
