		</div><p>Channel 4 has postponed the broadcast of a programme called Smuggled in the wake of the discovery of 39 bodies in a lorry in Essex.</p>
<p>The two-part documentary sees eight members of the public try to enter the UK from Europe by evading border checks.</p>
<p>The broadcaster has described it as an “unprecedented national security experiment”.</p>
<p>A screening of Smuggled had been planned for Thursday but was cancelled after the discovery of the trailer in the early hours of Wednesday.</p>
<p>A spokeswoman said:<em> “In light of the tragic events today we have postponed the transmission of the series.”</em></p>
<p>The vehicle, which is believed to have come from Bulgaria, was found by police at Waterglade Industrial Park in Grays, Essex.</p>
<p>Essex Police said 38 adults and one teenager were pronounced dead at the scene.</p>
<p>In promotional material, Channel 4 said it had commissioned the show at a time when the UK was preparing to “take back control” with Brexit.</p>
<p>Head of factual entertainment Alf Lawrie said in August: <em>“This dramatic series has real purpose at its heart.</em></p>
<p><em>“Extreme, authentic and utterly timely, it is a standout experiment that we hope will inform the national conversation.”</em></p>
