    Glasgow no longer bans Life of Brian

    Councillors in Glasgow have lifted an unofficial 30-year-old ban on the Monty Python film "The Life of Brian".

    The council's licensing and regulatory committee approved a request on Tuesday from Glasgow Film Theatre to show the biblical satire under a 15 certificate.

    Glasgow was one of 39 local authorities in the UK that refused to grant the film a general release in 1979.

    Opponents said the film, about a Jewish man who is mistaken for the Messiah and crucified, was blasphemous.

    Councillor Willie O'Rourke, vice convener of the licensing and regulatory committee, said: "This is the first application we've received to show Monty Python's Life of Brian since the first request.

    "Life of Brian has been broadcast on television over the years and is now widely available on DVD.

    "The world, and people's attitudes, have moved on in the last 30 years, so I believe the committee made the right decision today."

    Can't believe the had a meeting about it.
    People are paid to decided whether or not "The Life Of Brian" should be shown in the cinema?
    Everycunt's seen it already.
    Do it or don't. I've got places to be.

    I went to see it in the Odeon in 2004 and I'm pretty sure it had showings at the Salon, the Grosvenor and other places between 1979 and then.

    Was sitting in the meeting when this was granted .

    Think it's being shown at the GFT as that was the person requesting it.

    i had no idea that councilors got a say in public screenings of films! you'd think that if the bbfc gives a film a classification then being able to show it should be the defaut!?

    that rule hasn't held since they gave Forgetting Sarah Marshall a 12A rating.
