Line 9:
*** Even versions of the episode shown years after its original airing had "McNugget" in that sentence. It was removed shortly after [[McDonald's]] successfully sued activists under the UK's much-more-liberal libel laws...and won.
* In the United Kingdom, there are "daytime edits" of American 1990s-to-early-to-mid-2000s sitcoms such as ''[[Friends]]'' and ''[[Scrubs]]'', in which invective and references to sex beyond [[Double Entendre]] levels is removed.
* The UK version of [[Sy FySyfy]] aired daytime repeats of ''[[Buffy]]'' and ''[[Angel]]'', both of which had large portions of violence removed. The censors seem to take particular offense to violence against women and anything that could be construed as an "imitable, dangerous action or stunt," which when it comes to [[Buffy]] is... less than rational.
** In the United Kingdom, the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' episode ''The Weight of the World'' was screened without the part where Buffy smothers Dawn with a pillow. So when Buffy goes into a catatonic state and admits to Willow that she 'killed Dawn', even if it was just in her thoughts, it makes hardly any sense at all.
*** Actually it still makes a little sense because {{spoiler|she had been captured by Glory}} and so she could have been blaming herself for that.
