TCM UK censored exploding lizard

I saw this at the cinema as support movie to some forgotten main feature
40 odd years ago.

Watched again last night: Recorded HD broadcast 3pm Sat 21/6/14 on TCM UK.

Wtf - no exploding lizard ???

So what else might TCM have censored from Cable Hogue ???

Is this censored across all screenings, or only before a 'child friendly' watershed.
Is it possible to watch the entire uncut movie at any other broadcast time slot on TCM UK ?

Does anyone know TCM UK's censoreship policy.

Not sure I can trust them for any other vintage movies now.

That's odd. But it's funny seeing the exploding lizard in this film, and the same with the chickens in Pat Garret and Billy The Kid. You could not get away with filming stuff like that today.
