I think it has to be resubmitted to the BBFC as a Change Of Distributor.

Yes that's true although the BBFC don't actually view the film again if it is exactly the same as before, but it still has to be re-submitted. Unfortunately because the BBFC rate the film as before it means that if the film now only merits a 15 rating (when it was previously 18) it will still be rated 18. I'm pretty sure this is what happened with the 60's film The Killers that was rated 18 again recently even though it could easily have passed with a 15 now. Terror Train is another example rated 18 but could easily have passed 15 as it is very tame. There has now been a change of policy at the BBFC which means that if a film is re-submitted it will be classified according to the standards currently operating. I'm very eager to see if they will up grade Jaws to a 12. Hope they don't but they might.

Is a fee involved for resubmitting due to change of distributor .?
I take it any extras would have to be classified if they were added to the disc thus costing the new distributor if they wanted to add cinema trailers for the film even though these trailers would have a theatrical classification by the BBFC but not a home one.

I don't think there is a fee. Might be wrong though. Marc or Almar would know for sure.

Thanks Vince :)

Cheers Vince, I always wondered how much the bbfc charged for various services. Bloody Gangsters.

I'd be interested to know if the only fault found was the cut scene.

I, for one, always ignore customer reviews on Amazon. I've learned that people rarely leave reviews if they are happy, but they nearly always review if they're not. So customer reviews are never balanced.

I'd like to think that most people would just be happy these films are getting released.

Why leave a remark on a marketplace that will damage a company that works its ass off to bring the films the fans want that no one else will touch.
Shameless work hard to get these films out in top quality, uncut or fullest UK version available and Shameless should be applauded for the work they do not slated Karaman.

Keep up the good work Almar , its appreciated mate.

I am happy to see these titles are being released.But i am not living in UK.And i have no connection with BBFC.If i wish,i can buy Italian version or Japanese version.I wanted to buy an uncut version.I had thought that the censoured scene was an important one.But after watching it i changed my mind.I also deleted my review on amazon.uk.I will also buy "The frightened woman"-dvd.
