Modern censorship?


Just watched the movie again on BBC4.

The John Mills character (Pat Reid) was asked what he was going to eat when he got back to England.

His first choice was muted out. Was this just an audio drop on the transmission or is it modern censorship like the mention of Bomber Harris's dog in the Dambusters?

reply

Audio transmission drop I reckon as there is nothing contraversial in the line.
I have recently watched the DVD and Reid replies "Smoked salmon and a little caviar".

Thanks.

Yes, the dog's name was *beep*

Hey, IMDB's censored too! You can't quote historical fact!

What he says is "I´m going to eat my neighbour's pussy...cat."

Just watched that scene on UK Film4:

JM: Who's paying?
LJ: I am.
JM Then I'll have smoked salmon....

When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk.

I've just answered a questioner on a popular Answers site (name beginning with 'Y' and ending with '!') asking about a WWII movie with a "glider in the prison church"; and because I thought I'd be extra helpful and included a link to a well-known free online encyclopaedia about it, the URL was censored because it includes the name given to the aircraft by its courageous builders. Can someone please tell that site's administrators that the name means a 'male bird', as in 'flying' (with intended male pilot and co-pilot) and not what the dirty-minded auto-censor programmer(s) was/were thinking...
