Sorry if it's already been mentioned, but what has actually been cut? Is it the razor scene?

Yep, all the remaining cuts are to the Cindy/razor scene.

Not surprising really, it's a very nasty scene.

Thanks Sarah

Me too, same as CH, and I don't normally buy cut discs, but I'll be getting this for the extras

Same here. This appeal and the restoration of the 30-odd second rape/sex scene is great news for DVD/BD consumers and the BBFC's gradual movement into the 21st century.

I still think censorship of this nature is outdated and no one should be able to tell adults what they can't watch if it doesn't breach any UK laws. However, that's for another debate and another thread.

I'll buy this for the extra features, artwork and to keep my collection going.

It's really annoying that we're still treated like children in this day and age. I wonder how the members of the BBFC manage to watch all this filth and depravity, yet manage to be unaffected? Hmmmmmm. Guess they have superior intellect to us knuckle draggers!

That's the bottom line (who says there is a class divide in this country eh? ), but as stated previously, it is better than it was say 10-15 years ago.

Back then a legal uncut release of a lot of the Shameless titles was a distant pipe dream!

And an appeal? Not even worth considering with Lord Ferman in charge!

Here's to the next 10 years, where the might of the Internet will hopefully kill off the nannies of Soho Square for good!
