The exchange (above) took place on the UCD Ents (events) Crew page on Facebook. A student posted an opinion on the new constitution for the UCD Students Union which was then deleted as is was not in agreement with the Events officer’s own. Needless to say, the conversation
has since been removed by the page administrator and events officer in question, Stephen Darcy.

 

 

In August 1974, eight months before its cinema release, Tony Kerpel of the British Board of Film Classification previewed Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

A subsequent chat between Kerpel and Mark Forstater, one of the film’s producers, led to the above summary of the censor’s advice, which Forstater mailed to fellow producer, Michael White.
