    The old principle, whereby BBFC representatives sit through hours of dross in order to create certificates that might protect children from filthy language or behaviour at the cinema, is redundant when kids can watch these films (or far worse) online anyway.
    (Mitchell, 2014)

    If the filmmakers decide the likely rating is too high, they may decide to change the film, eg by removing scenes or changing the special effects, so they are more likely to get the lower rating they want. This is called a ‘cut for category’ and is the most common sort of cut made to films in the UK.

    Even today, for films shown in cinemas, councils have the power to ignore any decision made by the BBFC and can give them their own age ratings.
  • Media Magazine 49
    We have access to so much information and we are skilled consumers of the media. Most of us are not passive, unthinking consumers of film or other media.

    The BBC has its own powers of regulation, as well as partly being under the influence of Ofcom.  Like many media industries, they try to avoid external regulation and censorship by regulating themselves.
