You’re welcome - I found it quite disappointing as well when I recorded the film back in 2012 on Channel 4 HD as it was the best opportunity to get the film in HD because the Blu-ray wasn’t released then. I don’t expect Channel 4 to show the film uncut as they’ve been showing this censored version every year on a Saturday evening in May or June around 6 pm for at least the past four years now, but maybe there are uncut reruns on Film 4 HD?!

The German Free-TV channels from the ProSiebenSAT.1-group are also using the old 2005 HD-transfer and show it uncut during primetime-broadcasts, but unfortunately they have this bad habit to zoom Cinemascope-movies slightly to an aspect ratio of 2.20:1 what has of course a negative effect on the picture quality.
