More Buffy cuts on Sky

Compare and contrast.

This is from the Guardian review of Buffy 6.01:

“And so Buffy lives. Returning triumphantly for a sixth series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Sky One) made it back from the great beyond to a world full of babies’ teeth and spooky fluids, demons on bikes, illiterate vampires and the redefinition of Family (when your sister was actually a blob of mystical energy and not your sister at all, you learn to stretch your definitions). Once again proving itself the most underrated drama series on television, Buffy was as dark, funny, poignant and adult a show as you are likely to find anywhere. Sometimes, it’s good to face your demons. “

“The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live.”

And here is Sky’s excuse for cutting it:

“I believe the first episode was darker and sexier than is usual for Buffy.”
