BBFC - PG Rating

Parental Guidance

General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children

Unaccompanied children of any age may watch. A ‘PG’ film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children.

A PG rating film must comply with the following:

• Discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly disapproved of or in an educational or historical context.  Discrimination by a character with which children can readily identify is unlikely to be acceptable.
• References to illegal drugs or drug misuse must be innocuous or carry a suitable anti-drug message.
• Frightening sequences should not be prolonged or intense. Fantasy settings may be a mitigating factor.
• No detail of potentially dangerous behaviour which young children are likely to copy. No glamorisation of realistic or easily accessible weapons.
• Mild bad language only.
• Natural nudity, with no sexual context.
• Sexual activity may be implied, but should be discreet and infrequent. Mild sex references and innuendo only.
• Where more serious issues are featured (for example, domestic violence) nothing in their treatment should condone unacceptable behaviour.
• Moderate violence, without detail, may be allowed, if justified by its context (for example, history, comedy or fantasy).
