DID CLAUDIA DO A REVEALING B5 COMMERCIAL? 

Suggestive might be the better word.

There were several print advertisements and a least one video done for Babylon 5 in the United Kingdom.

The advertising campaign revolved around the prior "censored" airing of B 5 on the British C4 network.  Apparently, there was a perceived need to remove scenes such as Dr. Franklin's stabbing on walk about.

This angered fans who wanted the science fiction series in its entirety and uncut.   The U.K. Sci-Fi Channel seized upon this and ran a campaign based on Babylon 5 "uncensored" and "uncut."

The print advertisements in the opposite gallery started hearts a pumpin' and were the likely source of this rumor.  

Fans often incorrectly assume these were ads for the USA SciFi Channel because of the similar names and because the "uncut" video was on the US Sci-Fi site for a long time.  The video was for the British channel, however.

The US Sci-Fi site at that time was a early one when it appeared the channel might pick up Babylon 5.  TNT was long in parting with the series, however.  By the time they did, Sci-Fi USA had made a new site without the legendary video of Claudia's sultry presentation.
