The other list
Section 3
The DPP list gets the attention because it carried a prison sentence. There was a second, longer list that carried something duller and in practice worse for the trade.
Section 3 of the Obscene Publications Act allows a magistrate to issue a warrant to seize material and order it forfeited. No defendant, no jury, no conviction: the police take the stock, a magistrate agrees it should be destroyed, and that is the end of it. A distributor could lose an entire catalogue without anybody ever being charged with anything.
Around 82 titles circulated on this second list. They were held to be liable to seizure but not worth prosecuting, which is a legal distinction that made no practical difference to a shop owner watching his shelves go into a van.
The films are a stranger mix than the famous 72. Alongside the expected Italian gore there are police-academy comedies, a Chuck Norris picture and several films whose only offence was a lurid sleeve. Officers were working from a list of titles, and a title is not a film.
Not yet published
The DPP 72 on the previous tab is complete and checked. The Section 3 titles are not published here yet, because the surviving records are inconsistent between police forces and the lists in circulation online disagree with each other.
A half-right list of banned films is worse than no list, so this tab stays empty until the titles have been checked against a source rather than assembled from memory. If you have a documented copy, send it over.
