Everything on the disc must be passed by the British Board of Film Censors, every extra, every menu, each audio commentary..... and they charge (effectively) by the second.
From the BBFC Website:
"DVD Add-ons classified higher than the main feature
When a DVD add-on is classified at a more restrictive category than the accompanying feature the packaging must be labelled with the higher DVD add-on classification. This may confuse the consumer into thinking the BBFC has raised the classification of the main feature.
When these instances occur we advise it is best practice to add a note to the packaging along the following lines;
Overall category raised to [15] due to additional material being classified at a higher certificate than the main feature [12].
We will continue to contact our customers at the approval stage when a DVD add-on category exceeds the feature classification to establish if you would prefer cuts, if at all possible, to bring both categories into line."

Yes, the new R2 is the director's cut. Has anyone seen a review of it yet? I would like to know how the picture and sound quality compare to the Criterion edition. As we know, PAL isn't always better than NTSC.

Which is proof that they do certify commentaries! It may be the case that this one initially slipped through the net of course but everything on the disc must be certified, as per the quote I provide.

What behind-the-scenes footage? I thought the only thing missing from the R2 was the gag reel.
