This episode is not being shown for some reason:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0611651/reference (The Day of the Devil.)

Any ideas as to why?

The only reason I can think of is the subject matter (frequent references to the devil etc) is considered unsuitable for a daytime audience.

Could be.

Most likely a rights issue, be that music, actor or footage that cannot be cleared for repeat broadcast. For years, The Professionals could not be repeated as Martin Shaw would not sign a contract for repeats, as he judged the fee being offered as too low.

Pity. The Day of the Devil is one of my favourite episodes from the series.
