Anniversary - Deleted Rap Tidbit

This controversial scene from the first rap in the 4 O'Clock Club episode 'Anniversary' proved just why you can't take drugs, and saw Mr. Bell snorting crack at his desk before hallucinating all the magical things that happen around him and vomiting. The producers found the scenes with Mr. Bell on drugs too shocking and repulsive for a children's show like the 4 O'Clock Club, and as a result, Mr. Bell's actor was put into a lawsuit about near-drug-usage. He claimed that "if kids were to see my character taking drugs, next they would see my character stabbing students in the back and ripping their spines out, but don't worry, CBBC would never never EVER show a thing like that." That said, Mr. Bell's actor's career was put on hold for four days before production on 'Anniversary' started once again, without further delay.
