Why would a court order be used to cancel a BBC documentary on last summer's riots, could it be there was something they didn't wish us to see, or that they didn't want it to set off more riots?
Interesting to note however that the programme consisted of testimonies gathered by the Guardian and the London School of Economics.
Taking into consideration all this and the fact that it was a BBC broadcast, it would be of no surprise to anyone that a possible bias view would have been attached.
But must admit the replacement programme about aerial photography carried out by the RAF during WW2 was much more interesting.

I do not need a label to tell me which is cheese and which is chalk.
I know what chalk looks like and I know what cheese looks like, it's called experience.

These posts at the link sum it up really
<The Guardian and the LSE???
A very balanced and non-biased documentary, to be hosted by a very balanced and non-biased BBC!!!>
<Well if the testimonies were gathered by the LSE and the Guardian you can bet the BBC would have loved them.They are all left wing apologists. Biased noooo lol.>

Fine.
I'll send you a sealed box with no label.
No doubt you'll know what is in it without even opening it
With all your 'experience' that is

Zeul - i think youo'll find that AOG is in a particularly litigious mood today, we have already crossed swords over our respective senses of humour, so i don't think you will win on this one, although for the record, I can see the point you are making.
Semantics is a wonderful concept isn't it? Without it, half the exchanges on the News Section would never take place!

LOL - you do know that when you get to heaven, you will be given a tour around the various areas - Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Christian, even Atheist, and then Saint Peter will take you round a secion with a fifty-foot high wall, and ask that you remember to be very quiet when you walk past it.
Why? You will ask?
"Because this is the British Right-Winger's section," will come the reply, "And they think they are the only ones here!!!!!!"
Iiiiiiii thenk yaaaoooouuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!

with regard to the OP, it's all a bit of a mystery, which is strange in itself. It doesn't say who sought the order or why it was granted. Not quite as bad as a superinjunction, whose very existence was suppressed; but not exactly open justice at work.
The BBC say they will screen it later, however.

Thee BBC left wing? About as left wing as Margaret Thatcher, just because Rupert Murdochs papers want you to think it doesn't mean it is, you would think they might have an agenda wouldn't you.
I think they try to be balanced, however they are not apologists look at their (non) reporting of the banking crisis. over the last year.

Pending criminal court cases or investigations or somebody who thinks they've been libelled and who wants the programme re-edited are the likeliest reasons. The BBC may be reluctant to say what court order it is because giving details might itself affect the case or investigation.
It is to be shown at a later date. That fits the above.

Your chalk or cheese analogy doesn't really stand up to much scrutiny, however I won't harp on about it, as I think it's a side bar.
I think your first proposal is probably accurate. The courts would've requested the BBC not broadcast the programme because there was something in the content that they didn't want us to see.
However, to speculate on what that may be is futile, because it could literally be anything.
