BBFC & Two Towers hardcore shocker!

According to TheOneRing.Net, in their ruling which was sent out to cinema chains, the BBFC describe the Two Towers as containing "moderate action, violence and one sex scene"

Nobody has sex in LOTR! What are Sam & Frodo up to in Mordor!

Wonder if it's Aragorn and Arwen - they look they're about to get quite 'intense' in one of the trailers

Dark Horizons have appeared to clear this up:

"LOTR: The Two Towers: Several sites have confirmed the 'sex scene' controversy is a mixup with the cinemas, the description for the film was later revealed to be that for Die Another Day"

Phew!

By the way (and I don't mean the RHCP song) the BBFC have classified "The Two Towers" 12A.
