In the absence of timely information on BBC Twitter feeds or news pages, here's the BBC statement on why tonight's Panorama was pulled...
"The BBC had intended to broadcast Panorama, Fake Sheikh: Exposed tonight following the Court of Appeal's decision earlier today to allow the BBC to broadcast images of Mazher Mahmood.
"Shortly before transmission, Mr Mahmood's lawyers submitted new information relating to one of the cases in the programme which, as a responsible broadcaster, the BBC needs to evaluate.
"Once this has been done we will broadcast Fake Sheikh: Exposed, including recent footage of Mr Mahmood, as planned."
James Harding is back from Californ-i-ay, and heading to breakfast with the Society of Editors in Southampton, where namesake Phil Harding will grill him on these shenanigans, as well forcing him to reveal The Future Of News.
