| Athos Member 151 Posts 3/02 |  Posted - Jan 27 2005 : 12:13PMI came across Cheekydvds who seem to offer an interesting sounding DVD rental service. Everything despatched from within the UK with a postage-paid return envelope. £14.95 for 1 DVD at a time and £19.95 for 2 at a time. They are currently offering a two week free trial and I am seriously considering signing up. They seem to be based in Fife, Scotland which makes me think they must be trustworthy. Anyone have any experience to share? [Link] |

| Athos Member 151 Posts 3/02 | Posted - Feb 7 2005 : 2:48AM Regarding the titles being certificated R18, I'm against censorship on general principal however most of the titles I'm interested in have been passed without any cuts, according to the BBFC website. Even those that have been censored the cuts seem to be only a few minutes at most out of a 2 hour running time. [Link] |

| Athos Member 151 Posts 3/02 | Posted - Mar 9 2005 : 2:36AM Overall I'm reasonably happy with the service and I'm going to give it at least another month before deciding whether to continue. The two week free trial was a bit disappointing in that it took a week before I even received my first disc and I didn't really get a fair idea of how the service would perform. Probably my fault for not having enough items in my rental queue. They obviously have a limited inventory and if your rental queue contains nothing that is available then you just have to wait. Now I'm keeping a very long rental queue I'm receiving more discs but I've been waiting several weeks for the items at the top of the queue that I really want to see. When items are in stock they send an email to let you know they have been posted and they arrive next day complete with a reply paid envelope. My main problem seems to be I can't find enough stuff I want to rent and what I really want to see a lot of other people do as well. [Link] |

| stefank60 Member Gold Trader on ADT 383 Posts 9/02 | Posted - May 4 2005 : 3:03PM I think the BBFC site lists what cuts (if any) have been made to achieve an R18 certificate [Link] |

| struan Member SCOTLAND 242 Posts 8/02 | Posted - May 7 2005 : 7:12AM Yes, the BBFC provide details of cuts, as well as statistics for each category (currently, 25.2% of R18 titles submitted in 2005 have been cut), but, as Gabriel Nine points out, there is no mandatory requirement for distributors to declare whether they have censored material prior to submission to the BBFC, so it does not tell the full story. FYI, a couple of recent decisions by the BBFC that resulted in particularly severe censorship:-
When submitted to the BBFC the work had a running time of 136m 32s. To obtain this category cuts of 21m 22s were required., some or all of these cuts were substitutions. The cuts were Compulsory.
When submitted to the BBFC the work had a running time of 119m 42s. To obtain this category cuts of 27m 37s were required., some or all of these cuts were substitutions. The cuts were Compulsory.

| stefank60 Member Gold Trader on ADT 383 Posts 9/02 | Posted - May 7 2005 : 7:46AM I'm beggining to see why R18's can be a little more difficult to shift on the trading forum :-) [Link] |
| stefank60 Member Gold Trader on ADT 383 Posts 9/02 | Posted - Apr 17 2006 : 7:10AM cheers Stef www.makepovertyhistory.org [Link] |
| Athos Member 151 Posts 3/02 | Posted - Apr 18 2006 : 4:12AM The Private at Home service may also be of interest. As you may know this has been unavailable for quite some time but is threatening to start up again next month (May). However this date seems to be a moving target as their previously announced intention to recommence in February was abandoned. [Link] |
