Appendix: The DPP List of ‘Video Nasties’
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 August 2013
Summary
In the early 1980s the Director of Public Prosecutions issued a series of lists of videos that had either been found to be in breach of the Obscene Publications Act, or that his office believed would be likely to be found guilty under the Act if brought before a court. The contents of the lists varied over time, but below is listed every video that appeared on the list at one time or another. I have also indicated which films had previously passed through the BBFC classification/censorship process in their cinema incarnations. For further details of these films, see Wingrove and Morris (2009).
