This doesn't quite fit the bill, but the final series of the original Robot Wars that the BBC commissioned (Extreme series 2), had several episodes only shown on BBC Choice and never shown on BBC Two. It certainly was infuriating for me and my brother at the time, as we were huge fans but in an analogue-only household. I was only able to see them when they appeared on YouTube some years later!
I suspect that this was because the BBC were being very slow at showing these Robot Wars episodes on BBC Two (having run them to death on Choice), and the new series started on Channel 5, leaving the BBC to decide to never show those final few episodes on BBC Two. I think it was that rather than the BBC deciding to never show them on BBC Two, if that makes sense.
