We can only reply with Channel 4's official statement "For reasons of the duck’s security we can’t go into the issues surrounding its move into ‘Duck Witness Protection’ and what necessitated our having to blur his image, suffice to say, it was a nasty incident involving the Canada Goose Gang, a loaf of bread and a swan! We hope you’ll respect his need for privacy."
PRISON 2 Tonight at 9 pm
Tonight we show the vital work carried out at Foston Hall to help women who have suffered traumatic events. The remarkable Healing Trauma team is led by prisoners who have 'been there' themselves.

How to Stay Out of Jail
Next week Channel 4 is showing Spring's HOW TO STAY OUT OF JAIL following an elite police team whose extraordinary mission is to not to send criminals to prison. Based in County Durham each year the local police apprehend thousands of offenders accused of everything from drugs to assault to child neglect or domestic abuse. Some offenders are given a once in a lifetime chance to reform and cancel out their crime by joining a tough 16-week scheme. If they fail it's off to court and possibly prison.
Directed by Jemma Gander with Assistant Producer Martha Baily. The Executive producers were Kathy Myers and Richard Melman
