BBFC ratings and why


The BBFC examines and age rates films and videos before they are released in order to protect children from unsuitable content in films and to give consumers information they might need about a particular film before watching it and if it is deemed appropriate for their own personal choice.





Usually, two examiners view a film for theatrical release. In most cases a Senior Examiner will confirm the examiners’ initial classification, but if the Examiners disagree with each other, or if important policy issues are involved, the work may be seen by other members of the Board up to, and including, the Director and Presidential team. Occasionally they need to take specialist advice about the legal acceptability of film content.
This process also exists for DVDs and Blu-rays though generally these are seen by one Examiner. However, opinions from other Examiners may be required for more difficult works.





They look at issues such as discrimination, drugs, horror, dangerous and easily imitable behaviour, language, nudity, sex, and violence when making decisions.
