Dear Mike,

The Censor's representative, Tony Kerpel, came along to Friday's

screening at Twinkenham and he gave up his opinion of the film's

probale certificate.

He thinks the film will be AA, but it would be possible, given

some dialogue cuts, to make the film an A rating, which would

increase the audience. (AA is 14 and over, and A is 5-14).

For an 'A' we would have to:

Lose as may shits as possible

Take Jesus Christ out, if possible

Loose "I fart in your general direction"

Lose "the oral sex"

Lose "oh, f*** off"

Lose "We make castanets out of your testicles"

I would like to get back to the Censor and agree to lose the

shits, take the odd Jesus Christ out and lose Oh f*** off, but

to retain 'fart in your general direction', 'castanets of your

testicles' and 'oral sex' and ask him for an 'A' rating on

that basis.

Please let me know as soon as possible your attitude to this.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Forstater.
