The DPP list
The DPP list of 'video nasties' was first made public in
June of 1983. The list was modified monthly as
prosecutions failed or were dropped. In total 74
separate films appeared on the list at one time or
another.
Cannibal Terror
Thirty-nine films were successfully prosecuted
under the Obscene Publications Act but some of these
films have been subsequently cut and then approved for
release by the BBFC. The remaining 35 were either not
prosecuted or had unsuccessful prosecutions.
A number of films spent a short time on this list
because their prosecutions failed shortly after
publication or because it was decided that prosecution
was not worth pursuing.
Ultimately, the list became
obsolete when the Video Recordings Act came into force,
and since 2001, several of the films have been released
uncut.
In the majority of cases below where cuts were
made, they were scenes of animal cruelty and/or
excessive violence to women, both of which are still
regarded with some degree of severity by the BBFC.
