Some of what HBO giveth, PBS will taketh away. As a result of new, more stringent federal guidelines on indecency, the public television service will need to make a few small edits before it distributes the HBO film Dirty War to affiliates, PBS president and CEO Pat Mitchell told TV critics Saturday. Under an agreement announced last week, Dirty War, about a fictional radiological attack on London, will air Jan. 24 on HBO and then Feb. 23 on PBS stations. The agreement also includes two other films: Sometimes in April, about the 1994 Rwandan genocide, and Yesterday, a drama about AIDS in South Africa. One scene in Dirty War shows brief glimpses of frontal nudity as people exposed to radiation are hosed down. That scene will be edited, Mitchell told reporters during PBS' portion of the Television Critics Assn. press tour at the Universal City Hilton. In addition, there will be "a couple of word changes here and there," PBS senior programming executive Jacoba Atlas said. She said the changes already had been made for an international version of the film.
