There’s no hope of recovering the files, the paper was told, so the production team at Mastiff will have to recut the entire season together from scratch.

According to the paper’s sources, the deletion happened after Mastiff allowed an AI agent into the server. With a year’s worth of work down the toilet, hundreds of people will now need to go in and cobble together the next season all over again, which was originally supposed to air on November 22.

This is an illustration of two badgers in a nocturnal woodland setting. A large badger is in the foreground, looking to the side. A smaller badger is visible in the background.
The ground is covered with foliage, including holly leaves and red berries, along with a variety of mushrooms and fungi. The background shows a dense forest of bare trees and a crescent moon in the dark sky.

Bundoran, this afternoon. The sculpture is Carraige na Nean, (Rock of the Birds). The monolith is 2m tall and the arch is 3m tall. The work incorporates limestone, sandstone, lead, and granite. It was created by Brendan McGloin, who sadly died in 2025. #Donegal #Ireland
Landscape oriented,  16:9 image. 

On the left in the foreground, a public sculpture on a seaside promenade. A monolith decorated in Celtic designs is seen through a stone arch.

The Atlantic Ocean is in the background, with large waves creating foaming white breakers.

A stone bench in the foreground on the right. In the background to it, the ocean and grass topped cliffs.

The sky is filled with large, turbulent clouds, both white and in various shades of grey. There is some blue sky visible just above the horizon. Despite the changeable weather,  the scene at this moment is bright and sunny.
