Release
The film was intended for a theatrical release, but in October 1980, the British Board of Film Classification rejected it outright[2] on the grounds of its sustained and excessive use of very strong language (the uses of "fuck" and "cunt"), and blasphemy.
Cook instead chose to release the film straight to video, a format that was at the time unregulated, but this plan also ran into trouble when several hundred copies were impounded by "God's copper" James Anderton of the Greater Manchester Police, sending the small company behind the release spiraling into bankruptcy. Derek and Clive Get the Horn was finally granted an uncut 18 certificate in 1993[1] and was released as a sell-through video by PolyGram.
