here's a true story from my past, this was during the second wave '89 raids .. The MP and the T Chest of Nasties

That's brilliant Swifty, I can't top-trump that.
I was interested though in the ban on 'A Clockwork Orange', as this was apparently self-censorship by Kubrick. I used to visit friends in London and the story goes that an Usherette at King's Cross Scala got hold of a copy and decided to screen it.
'In 1993 the Scala Cinema Club went into receivership after losing a court case over an illegal screening of Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange'.
Shame. On selected nights Scala would do a television triple on the big screen: one episode of Danger Man, followed by the Avengers (B&W) and one of the Prisoner. Best bit was that they sometimes left the TV Ads in - Kennomeat anyone ? Two cartoon dogs and their little man - collective audience sigh of nostalgia.
