Running Time
Running Times are for the cut video version running on a PAL TV.
Note that video runs 4% faster (and 4% shorter) on PAL TV compared with either American TV
(NTSC) or cinema versions. However note that it is possible to telecine a
film such that the video version runs exactly the same time as the cinema
version.
Running times are generally extracted from the BBFC
database. However some of the timings seem at first glance to be dubious. There are
sometimes perfectly good explanations for the discrepancy, eg as explained by the BBFC:
Sometimes the cuts running time is not exactly equal to the difference between the
submitted version and the cut version because material may be substituted by the company
to 'fill in the gaps'.
