Ali G talks to James Ferman "must be the best job in the world, just watching porno all day"
From the 11 o'clock show Channel 4 c1998/99
James Ferman 1930 - 2002 (Film buff and censor)
Retired as director of the British Board of Film Classification in 1999 after 24 years, frequently came under fire for being too ready to pass controversial films such as Crash, Lolita and Last Temptation of Christ.
"I knew what this job would be from the first day, and I rather enjoy the crossfire. The job has such power that we need to be shot at. Someone with a powerful position in the media needs to be questioned by the public," he said.
Mr Ferman's controversial views on British laws relating to pornography were also well publicised, and criticised. In 1998 he argued that explicit pornography should be made legally available in licensed shops to stop violent sex material flooding the country. His annual report suggested that the ban on "conventional" explicit pornography had encouraged a black market in far more obscene videos involving children and animals.
But his proposals were met with outrage from MPs and family values campaigners, who insisted that more explicit imagery would stoke up demand for more hard core porn.
When he stepped down as director of the BBFC, the man who described himself as "a film lover and a film buff" advised his successor, Robin Duval, to get hold of a flak jacket.

David Austin, Assistant Director of the British Board of Film Classification, talks about the content which caused The Wolf of Wall Street to get an 18-certificate, and these include mentions of "Sadomasochistic sex", "group sex" and "snorting cocaine off naked bodies".
I love the look on his face after this it's brought to his attention that it's only 9am!
He also talks about the BBFC's new classification guidelines and censorship faced by The Woman in Black, staring Daniel Radcliffe.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), originally British Board of Film Censors, is a non-governmental organisation, funded by the film industry and responsible for the national classification and censorship of films within the United Kingdom. It has a statutory requirement to classify videos, DVDs and some video games under the Video Recordings Act 2010.
The BBFC was established in 1912 as the British Board of Film Censors by the film industry (who would rather manage their own censorship than have national or local government do it for them). Its legal basis was the Cinematograph Act 1909, which required cinemas to have licenses from local authorities. The Act was introduced for safety reasons after a number of nitrate film fires in unsuitable venues (fairgrounds and shops that had been hastily converted into cinemas) but the following year a court ruling (LCC v. Bermondsey Bioscope Co.) determined that the criteria for granting or refusing a licence did not have to be restricted to issues of health and safety. Given that the law now allowed councils to grant or refuse licenses to cinemas according to the content of the films they showed, the 1909 Act therefore enabled the introduction of censorship. The film industry, fearing the economic consequences of a largely unregulated censorship infrastructure, therefore formed the BBFC in order to take the process 'in house' and establish its own system of self-regulation. Some decisions from the early years are now subjected to derision. In 1928, the Board's examiners report famously claimed that Germaine Dulac's surrealist film The Seashell and the Clergyman was "Apparently meaningless" but "If there is a meaning, it is doubtless objectionable".

James Ferman 1930 - 2002 (Film buff and censor)
Retired as director of the British Board of Film Classification in 1999 after 24 years, frequently came under fire for being too ready to pass controversial films such as Crash, Lolita and Last Temptation of Christ.
"I knew what this job would be from the first day, and I rather enjoy the crossfire. The job has such power that we need to be shot at. Someone with a powerful position in the media needs to be questioned by the public," he said.
Mr Ferman's controversial views on British laws relating to pornography were also well publicised, and criticised. In 1998 he argued that explicit pornography should be made legally available in licensed shops to stop violent sex material flooding the country. His annual report suggested that the ban on "conventional" explicit pornography had encouraged a black market in far more obscene videos involving children and animals.
But his proposals were met with outrage from MPs and family values campaigners, who insisted that more explicit imagery would stoke up demand for more hard core porn.
When he stepped down as director of the BBFC, the man who described himself as "a film lover and a film buff" advised his successor, Robin Duval, to get hold of a flak jacket.

Everybody gets fucked up of saying ther's no way to live,
Working half our lives like dogs then try to have fun
I turn the TV off, don't watch the dreams that I can't afford,
And I take a look all around, see the old world falling down
I'm guess I'm happy, got everything I needed
Guess I got what I deserve, must've been born in the wrong place
I must be happy, that's what my mommy always told me but
Can somebody tell me why I've burned forty years in a single night
We're against the wall and everybody knows it
And all around the world it's all the same
There's people living and dying in the street
It 's you and me, can't you see
Now mom and dad, don't get me wrong,
