Not banned.

Simply found lacking.

Well contrary to popular belief, there was no official "council" that decided what should or shouldn't be in the New Testament. But the 27 books were written before 70 AD, while the so-called "banned" books (actually gnostic texts) were produced no earlier than 150 AD and contain bizarre, heretical doctrine.

But I see your point.

I watched it or something very similar a year or two ago.

The title was misleading. They simply studied the documents and chose the ones they thought were genuine. That means the others were not so much banned as just not included.
