Channel 4 "update" programmes!

I am fed up of Channel 4 and it's so called "updates" of previous programmes (e.g. No Going Back etc.)
Last night I watched A New Life Down Under hoping to see what had become of the people that emigrated two years ago (as the title promised "14 months on")
But it was just a complete repeat of everything they showed a couple of months ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The same normally happens on the other programmes - they show half an hour of what has already happened, then the final half hour squeezing in a bit of an update.
Why cant they devote the full hour to new stuff? Lazy programming....

Well they couldn't really show just new stuff as most people prob wouldn't have seen it before or might want a recap. You could suggest they put it in the schedule tho, so if you only want to see the new bits then you only watch the 2nd half?0
