Has this film ever been shown on British television?

Just wondering...I saw it in a London cinema in 1981 and as it was a relatively 'big' film at the time I am a bit surprised that I have never seen in on TV, although it is possible that I might have missed a screening on British TV while on holiday abroad.

I'm almost certain it popped up on UK Sky and Cable channels, but it's never made it to the four main terrestrial channels (BBC, ITV and was likely deemed too exploitative for CH4?)

Plus it never got a full uncut release in the UK til around 2002 (all other home video versions were badly censored)
