As Richard E Grant, the narrator, hinted at the end of this first part - when he trailed tonight's second part as taking up the story in 1974, the year of The Exorcist, A Clockwork Orange and Straw Dogs - the world of the censor begins to look somewhat more complex the closer it gets to your own time and sensibilities. What appears now to be little more than silly snobbery delivered in cut-glass Pathe news accents was, in the Fifties and Sixties, in a different moral climate, defining that moral climate as it went along. The point about censorship is that it always looks ridiculous in retrospect. We should be careful, as the programme admirably pointed out, however, not to laugh too loud at the censors making Lesley Caron put Elastoplast on her nipples during Room at the Top or Trevelyan, in a nice piece of double-edged syntax, telling Donald Cammell, apropos of the sex scene in Performance, that "you can cut that out". The film began with Roman Polanski - a man whose face would blend easily into the back row of a Soho cinema club - suggesting what we have all long suspected: "Censors always looked kinky to me, I always imagined them gathering the bits they had cut from films and running them together for their own pleasure at home." These censors, they certainly have a bit of front, telling us what we can or can't watch but only after they have watched it themselves. And several of those were covered in Elastoplast. Worse, the nipple count barely reached double figures. Empire of the Censors (BBC2, Sunday), a history of British film snippery, was as thorough, serious and thought- provoking a piece of documentary-making as you could wish to find. Sadly for those of us sitting on the edge of our expectation in a darkened room wearing the dirty mac only just returned to the wardrobe after Channel 4's Red Light Zone, the opening spurt of the weekend turned out be a sore disappointment. And, true to form, BBC2 served up Forbidden Weekend promising 48 hours of rudery, Sellotaped together from the cutting-room floor. Snippery 1.1 has a lot of new features, improvements and fixes!
