Not often. The last banned film, four years after The Bunny Game, was Hate Crime in 2015, due to strong sadistic violence and rape by neo-Nazis on a Jewish family.

does the BBFC advertise if they have banned a film, or does the information leak out?

They have a public database of all their classifications and usually write explanations on the rare occasion that something gets refused classification, but they don't make a big deal out of it - others find them and report on it.

Twenty years ago it was a big thing if the BBFC were banning films. They were banning movies like Straw Dogs and the original The Last House on the Left. After about 2005 though they stopped rejecting films of any serious worth, so the only films that are banned now are stuff you wouldn't want to sit through anyway. We're talking about films where it's literally rape all the way through, or videos of real animal cruelty or real human suffering for a laugh. Basically, pointless stuff.

They stopped banning anything of real merit in around 2005.

I know there was one james bond 007 film ["from Russia with love"] they fairly cut to shreds to get an A rating, I wonder if the uncut version of it exists somewhere? a pity they insisted on cutting the negative rather than the mother print.

I thought the film banning movement died out in the 90s..?

One of the last films they banned was worth watching was Women in Cellblock 9 in 2004, and only then because the actress involved was 16 when it was made. They banned Straw Dogs for video in 1999, The Last House on the Left in 2000. Both were passed uncut a few years later.
