Arrow have asked me to pass on their sincere and warmest thanks to everyone on here who took the time to write to the BBFC.
Against expectations we now have the following ruling:
"we've now waived the proposed cut and passed INFERNO '18' uncut with all previous cuts waived"
How incredible is that? Hats off to the BBFC but also a big thank you to everyone on here who helped get this decision made through carefully worded and considered e-mails to the BBFC - it proves it's worth trying, especially when done with skill, tact and reasoning - the BBFC have responded to that and that's to their credit.
Inferno will be released on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK fully uncut. Thanks to you.
