James Ferman...that's the fucker. Even after his death though his legacy lives on. Notice how many "objectionable films" have been passed since his reign (first thing that happened was "The Excorcist" finally got a video release!) which might be considered a good thing but thanks to our notoriously draconian cencorship history under Ferman they are all submitted "pre-cut" to reduce the risk of having to resubmitting and thereby increasing the expense to small distributors.
Hence the "top worst gore movies" on Sky showed scenes on mainstream telly that had been cut from the commercial releases.
