[hardy-l] "Oh--" ....censorship!

[Niemeyer, Paul J.]

The recent TV TESS can be viewed on the PBS website, and I went there to see if any of these "US censorship" problems appeared on the Net.  Well!  As to the "Oh--" scene (which occurs when Alec first appears to Tess on the road to Kingsbere, not at Flintcombe Ash, as I first wrote), NOTHING is heard from Tess, not even an "Oh."  I also looked at the nursing-of-Sorrow sequence, which looked blurry to me as well.  Online, it isn't just blurry--a BLOB appears over Gemma Arterton's breast.  Good grief. . .well, as the saying goes, on American TV you can show a man shooting a woman in the breast, but you can't show him kissing it.
 
Unbelievable. . .
