"General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for some 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."
- Theme: More serious issues may be featured, eg crime, domestic violence, racism (providing nothing in their treatment condones them).
- Language: Mild bad language only.
- Nudity: Natural nudity, with no sexual context.
- Sex: Sexual activity may be implied, but should be discreet and infrequent. Mild sexual references and innuendo only.
- Violence: Moderate violence, without detail, may be allowed - if justified by its setting (eg historic, comedy or fantasy).
- Imitable techniques: No glamorisation of realistic, contemporary weapons. No detail of fighting or other dangerous techniques.
- Horror: Frightening sequences should not be prolonged or intense. Fantasy settings may be a mitigating factor.
- Drugs: No references to illegal drugs or drug use unless entirely innocuous.
U Film boundaries...
"Current BBFC guidelines recommend that U certificate films be suitable for anyone from the age of about four years and upwards, and that the films should "be set within a positive moral framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror."
- Theme: Treatment of problematic themes must be sensitive and appropriate to a younger audience.
- Language: Infrequent use only of very mild bad language.
- Nudity: Occasional natural nudity, with no sexual context.
- Sex: Mild sexual behaviour (e.g., kissing) and references only (e.g., to 'making love').
- Violence: Mild violence only. Occasional mild threat or menace only.
- Imitable techniques: No emphasis on realistic weapons.
- Horror: Horror effects should be mild and brief and should take account of the presence of very young viewers. The outcome should be reassuring.
- Drugs: No references to illegal drugs or drug use.
As a group, we have decided to aim for the PG certificate as it means we have wider boundaries into what we can include and put into our film.
