I was intrigued by the fact that the N word was not censored in the Channel 5 showing of the film – it was quite clearly spoken – about a half-dozen times – including once by no less than Patrick McGoohan when guarding the briefing room.

Yet in the same film, when shown on Channel 4 last year, the dogs name was dubbed as ‘Trigger’.

I found this on Wiki…..

The British Channel 4 screened the censored American version in July 2007, in which the dialogue was dubbed so as to call the dog Trigger (my underlining)

So, the UK PC brigade are not to blame – and you can clearly use the Nigger word without a problem – as seen on C5.

It was clearly the Americans who objected – and censored the dog’s/dams breach code name.
