So was James Ferman British or American? I must admit I only knew him as the "public face" of British film censorship - I know nothing of his pre-BBFC career. AdorableRuffian 23:00, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

He was in fact a New Yorker as his obituary makes clear. --Mr impossible 13:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'The Golden Age of Censorship'

Paul Hoffman's recent novel 'The Golden Age of Censorship' appears to be a roman-a-clef based on the life and times of Ferman. Hoffman used to work for Ferman at the BBFC. Colin4C 18:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
