In 2003 the BBFC gave Man from Deep River an 18 with these cuts...
"Cuts required to remove sight of real animal cruelty (in this case setting a mongoose on a snake; locking a monkey into a vice and slicing off the top of its head; a cock fight; cutting a snake and bleeding it alive; and stabbing a crocodile in its neck with a small knife) in accordance with the terms of the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937 and BBFC Policy."
that lot was about 3-4 minutes worth of nastiness, so I'm worried 88 may have to put out an 85 min disc up against an 89 min disc that's only a mouse click away, but kudos to them for trying anyway.
