BBFC PG and U evaluations.

Universal:
A movie with the classification U, is suitable for everyone to watch. It is said to be suited for ages four and over, this means there will be little or no violence and horror, if there is, violence must be mild and have a reassuring ending. Themes may be problematic yet must be appropriate for children.
Sexual behaviour must be mild, nudity must be natural and not in an explicit way, if anything sexual is brought up, it must only be referred to not screened. If any discriminatory behaviour occurs, this must only be in disapproval, never supporting it. There may be no misuse of drugs, if they are brought films have to encourage children that drugs are bad.

Parental Guidance: 
This should be suited for any child above the age of eight to watch alone as this should not disturb them, however any child under the age of eight should be accompanied by an adult to reinforce the positive aspects. Discriminatory behaviour should not appear and if it does it should be mild and of an educational purpose. Any aspects that may scare or upset a child should happen quickly and not be prolonged. No glamourisation of potentially dangerous behavior which children are likely to copy. Natural nudity with no sexual content is allowed and sexual references may only be taken as far as inuendos. Only mild bad language may be used and should not be condoned or encouraged. Themes of a more seriouis nature such as domestic violence may be featured but not prolonged and must not condone or give false impressions of unacceptable behaviour.

BBFC roles:
The BBFC must ensure that all films are classified accurately and do not involve any unsuitable material. This is a legal responsibility and they may run the risk of prosecution. Most of the time, the classification of the film is judged by the expertise of of regulators. In the accusation of legal issues such as violence, drugs and discrimination the BBFC will review this and research further with expert opinion. However, this can sometimes be lacking therefore could then mean that films are showing more than they are actually allowed to.
