Does anyone remember a one off programme in which a 4 person panel were given a scenario, the hijacking of a jet plane, and then asked to decide on what action to take. They had advice from experts but had a ticking clock and were put under pressure. They had to make 4 decisions during the hour. They got every decision wrong and the "consequence" was the flooding of London tube and the deaths of thousands.
What was interesting was that before the programme it was billed as the first of 4 shows each with a different scenario. After the first programme went out no more were shown and there was no announcement about the others being stopped, just nothing. I've always wondered if they were pulled because either too many people got spooked or that the programme gave away too much of what the security services would do. Anyone else remember it. C4 I think.

Maybe because the hijacker shouted "allahu akbar" at the beginning and that was deemed offensive?
Probably "Crisis Command", which was on BBC in 2004. The IMDB link on the wiki page suggests a pilot episode aired in February and the other three in September.
Wiki says Charles Shoebridge had trouble from the old bill in regard to his media work. Maybe you are right about it being pulled because it was too realistic for security types.
