I love the title Zombie Flesh Eaters. It doesn't fuck about. You know what you're getting...seriously, it always made me laugh when stuff like this got banned. The title makes it so blindingly obvious what you're getting if you watch this that you only have yourself to blame if it goes on to repulse you!

Zombi II makes no sense in the UK as we never had Zombi in the first place.

Totally agree, but wasn't the problem that, yes, the titles were appealing to people out for gore 'n stuff, but they also appealed to kids, and that's what the cryptkeeper (sorry, "Mary Whitehouse") and the authorities were worried about? Or at least claimed to be.
Plus, the officers who were seizing the films had no idea what they were looking for, so they just grabbed stuff with obvious titles (Zombie Flesh Eaters, Cannibal Holocaust, um.. The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas..?). If they'd watched the films in context, instead of going on hearsay and isolated clips, they'd've seen that most of them were laughably bad, or just mindless entertainment.

The best one for me was making them remove the word Chainsaw from Texas Chainsaw Hookers,so it just became Texas Hookers :)

I bought season one of Star Trek: The Next Generation on blu-ray. I only did so because I had spare birthday money, due to it being expensive. However, it's absolutely worth it. It looks and sounds fucking amazing, like it was filmed yesterday. It's staggering.

Also it's nice seeing Picard in arsehole mode :D
