They aired it at 6pm, after the news here, so it did get cut, aye.
Channel 4 tried to air Angel at the same timeslot - the first episode was missing 1 and a half minutes of footage. Before the teaser started.
I'm not saying we're less batty. British people crack me up, too.
(And yes, that paste is real).
nutters. i love that word.
Didn't your government or your networks cut the hell out of Buffy and Angel, before they could air in UK, at least at certain hours?
There isn't a government censor, but yes, the networks do self-censor. IIRC, there is also a unofficial "watershed" hour after which the rules are loosened.

So do I. I also enjoy wingnut and another one that gets occasional play around here but that I can't remember at the moment. No, wait - wackaloon - that's the one. (Whackaloon?)

This picture of Phil "Sideshow Bob" Spector in court (that's not a typo) prompted Hec to comment, "It is one of the great whackaloon hairdos of recorded history." It takes chutzpah to wear that hair in public; it takes something more than chutzpah to wear it to court when you're up on murder charges. That something being complete lunacy.
Is that where that came from? It's our? Hec's? That's so cool - I use that word all the time.
And if it's real, please tell me the people who handle these things looked at these loons and then told them this is an idiotic idea and to just sit the fuck down and think a bit before the next time they open their mouths.
This is pretty much my mantra these days. Not going so well, really.
Oh, I've heard other people not from here use it, too. I don't think it originated here. It just gets used, and when it does, I always remember how much I like it.
Man walks down the street with hair like that, you know he's not afraid of anything.

Heh. I wish I had the coinage. But I think it's widely used as JenP notes.
