Features of a BBFC PG Rated Film:

PG 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.

Discrimination
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.

Drugs
References to illegal drugs or drug misuse must be
innocuous or carry a suitable anti-drug message.

Horror
Frightening sequences should not be prolonged or
intense. Fantasy settings may be a mitigating factor.

Imitable behaviour
No detail of potentially dangerous behaviour which
young children are likely to copy. No glamorisation
of realistic or easily accessible weapons.

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 sex references and
innuendo only.

Theme
Where more serious issues are featured (for example,
domestic violence) nothing in their treatment should
condone unacceptable behaviour.

Violence
Moderate violence, without detail, may be allowed,
if justified by its context (for example, history,
comedy or fantasy).
