John Goodman to Star in Rupert Wyatt’s Sci-Fi Film Make yourselves a nice cup of tea first: Bodie's VHK1. W Capri is up for sale! There is an advert in the latest edition of Ford Classic magazine. Auf CINEMA Online finden Sie alle aktuellen Filme auf DVD, HD oder Blu-Ray. Zum Verleih, Kauf oder Vormerken.Remember this IS the genuine article, though many body panels and other sundry items have been replaced, so the degree of the car's . A mere fifteen grand!! I am sorry for the late response and will not begin to give reasons as they will only seem trite. But my apology is genuine. I fully appreciate your point about . I agree that there is an inconsistency in the application of censorship as between videos and say, satellite broadcasts. But as you know, the BBFC has a legal obligation to classify videos under the Video Recordings Act 1. Television / cable / satellite companies, on the other hand, are regulated differently and are not obliged to broadcast only classified material and they often don't. If the police's attention has been drawn to the portrayal of imitative criminal technique in the series broadcast by the satellite companies and if they apparently choose to do nothing about it, that must be a matter for the police. Just because complaints have not been received by ITC or the TV companies - and do we know this as fact?- it does not follow that people are unconcerned about these and other issues. If an individual is concerned about an issue but for whatever reason does not raise the matter with the authorities, that is clearly their decision and the authorities will have no knowledge of their concerns. As the classifying authority, however, the Board is unable to indulge in that luxury of being unconcerned, however misplaced at times, or of doing nothing once a concern has been identified. In this example, a concern was raised so we took advice from an appropriate source, the police. They did not tell us to cut the scene. We chose to do it after having taken expert advice and considering a range of factors, including public expectation. You and many members of the public may not agree with the Board's decision to cut but you should appreciate that we make the decision on behalf of many other members of public, who may agree with our decision. As to the surge or not of burglaries using techniques learnt on the series, we have no knowledge of either so any statement about either position is only assertion and does not advance the debate. Perhaps it may be a source of (a little) comfort to you to know that no decision to cut is ever taken lightly. I hope that my response answers your queries even though you may not agree with them. Yours sincerely. Wah- Yin Rixon (Mrs)Film & Video Examiner. And here's my response: Dear Mrs Rixon,Thank you very much for your reply. I must confess I was under the impression that the decision to cut the episode was as a *direct* result of the advice from the police. As you say, this was merely one of the factors involved. I take it, then, the ultimate decision to demand the cut was solely that of the BBFC. Unfortunately, from my point of view, this only serves to make the cut seem even more bizarre: as I mentioned in my previous e- mail, this particular episode had been widely available in the UK (with a . As far as I can see, then, the scene was cut for no valid reason! Or do the BBFC have documented evidence that 1. Yet I am sure that had they done so and felt that the complaints were justified, then they would indeed have excised the scene. This would certainly have happened if the ITC had received complaints and upheld them. I think, then, we can safely assume that no such complaints have been received and supported. Does this mean that after the initial concern was raised over the scene, you surveyed several members of the public to assess their views and found that the majority of them agreed it should be removed? This seems to imply that if they don't agree, you demand the cut anyway! That's hardly what I'd called representing . I've spoken to about 2. Admittedly most of those I spoke to were fans of ! But these people are a cross- section of the vast majority of those who would actually buy this video! And that's really another point the BBFC should consider - instead of just taking the . I think you have demonstrated this with your own comments. This problem is compounded by your own admission that UK censorship is being applied inconsistently - and, therefore, unfairly. This is a shame as I feel that the classification of films and videos is highly desirable and so the BBFC fulfills a worthy role in this respect. In terms of censorship, I can appreciate concerns over the violent nature of material depicted in some film and video works and the requirement to tailor this for younger audiences. I still maintain, however, that it in some cases, the BBFC displays no . The uncut 1. 99. 3 issue of ! With specific regard to . Furthermore decisions to cut are also based purely on the rating of the work, rather than any consideration for its target audience. You are quite right that there are always going to be instances where one sector of the public disagrees with a decision to cut - this is unavoidable. However the crux of the problem in this case is not the decision itself but the methods employed by the BBFC to reach that decision, particularly given the factors I have outlined. Unfortunately I'm afraid your kind reply has raised more questions than answers, so I would appreciate some clarification. I would like to think that partly in the light of my comments (after all, I'm a member of the public expressing my expectations!), should the episode ever be resubmitted, the BBFC would at least reconsider its decision. Your sincerely,Dave Matthews. Late again! I forgot Marty's birthday on 2. January – he was a sprightly 5. Thanks to all those folks who jogged my elbow! I've been trying to follow up on dates for the latest Dangerous Corner tour.
