ROALD DAHL v ALFRED HITCHCOCK - Same Story but Different Sensibility

from DISCUSSIONS FROM THE OTHERHOOD

Several of Roald Dahl’s stories were adapted for Alfred Hitchcock Presents, many of which were directed by Hitchcock himself. But viewing the Dahl stories as they were exhibited in the UK vs how the stories were presented in the U.S. might indicate that American audiences had stories desexualized and darker intentions and endings were modified, removed or undone in an epilogue. The Motion Picture Production Code (The Hays Code) was basically self-censorship by the MPAA that required that the good guy win, that crime not be seen in a good light and that fostered the lack of sexual content of American TV. Is the difference in how TV was presented still evident in U.S. shows versus what is available from the BBC?
