Film Classification Research
The BBFC, who regulate film classification, have five age categories:
These films should be suitable for all audiences aged four and over, will be set within a positive moral framework, and will counterbalance any threat, horror or violence.
General viewing for children aged eight and over. Parents are advised to moniter younger or particullarly sensitive children. These films should contain no content of calibre enough to disturd a resonable child.
Suitable only for children aged twelve or over. In the cinema, 12's may be shown as a 12A, which allows children under twelve to view if accompanied by an adult. In this case, all liability lies with the adult. These films may contain minor drug use, relatively strong language, minor violence and very brief non sexualised nudity.
These films are not suitable for anyone under age 15, and may portray violence not dwelling on pain or injury, undetailed sex and nudity, undetailed drug use, must not dwell on imitable behaviour and may contain frequant strong language.
These films are suitable for only those aged 18 or over, and are likely to contain strong violence, language, horror or drug use and may show sex and nudity in graphic detail, however this must be justified by context.
