I'm about 63% sure that Night Train Murders will receive BBFC edits though I can't see them being major or lengthy ones. Alas I have far less hope for Flavia but it would be a pleasure to be proved wrong.
It will be interesting to see just how much the BBFC require to be removed from NTM simply because it gives Shameless an idea as to how far along the line the UK censors have come and what sort of thing may be cut from future releases. Under Ferman the film would likely have been rejected completely or heavily cut indeed.
No one blames you Almar for cutting the films. It's simply the law alas and although we don't have to agree with it there's nowt we can do. The plus is that, cut or not (and many of these films will make it uncut and even restored a la Killer Nun etc), it will give people a chance to get hold of some of the more obscure titles.
