Looks That Kill (1x3)

Air date: Dec 05, 2001

In the third of her four-part series on the history of censorship, Joan Bakewell traces public attitudes towards violence, once a prohibitive phenomenon that's increasingly tolerated as it pervades stage, film and TV. Bakewell interviews people who have tested the limits, including film-makers whose work has been banned, and artists with an interest in violence and sadomaschism.
