BBC running scared of OFCOM now:

The 'non OFCOM safe version' will be broadcast in the United States on Starz on 10 August 2013. I'll be watching that. Fuck OFCOM.
This case in point shows how timid broadcasters have become in this country. Scared shitless of offending the most puritanical of groups. We are entering a very worrying phase. Freedom of expression? Forget it mate... The Daily Mail has won the battle.
Pathetic.

Interesting article Shylock TY for sharing. Good series all the same even if we don't get the graphic / nude USA scenes.

nothing new this, when a tv series is sold round the world, different versions are made for each country that gets it. no surprise the americans want more sex and nudity in their version. having seen their other costume dramas like game of thrones. wheras the uk ones tend to be less raunchy
wouldn't rule out the uk getting to see the American verison of the white queen though. either the bbc bow to public demand and show the episodes at a later time at night on one of the bbc tv channels, one of the uk digital channels that shows us tv shows (sky atlantic, watch, 5usa for example) may show the amercian version. also when it comes out in a few months on dvd, bluray and on iTunes and internet services like Netflix. the American version may be available that way.

Yet wasn't The Tudors a mostly British produced show, and there was plenty of nudity there!
There's less actual nudity in regular American TV than I've seen on British TV, which makes this news about The White Queen seem odd to me. Lots of nudity on American cable channels like HBO, Showtime, Starz, but I don't see how this is an American thing.
Having nudity just to have it is stupid, however, if it's realistic to show it, then I think they should show it. In this case, I don't know, as I haven't seen the show, but an issue could arise with having two cuts, especially if the acting isn't as good in the uncensored version.

didn't watch the tudors. was just saying from what ive watched of the American costume dramas like game of thrones compared to british ones.
agree having nudity just to have it is stupid.

Good to see the Daily Mail upholding standards with this tasteful shot of Nicole Scherzinger at a family reunion. Ah, family values.
