The BBFC

The bbfc are the british board of film classification and they are in charge of classifying all films adverts tv programs and video games in britain. On every dvd or game or film box/poster there is a triangle that contains either a letter or number with a specific colour to show that it belongs to a specific age group, Green and U means universal which means its alright for children, Yellow and PG means Parental guidance which means that there are some scenes which may be innapropriate for young children, Red and 12 means it is suitable for children but has too many scenes that arent suitable for younger viwers, this is the same with 15 and Red and 18 means there is either strong violence language or sexual content or all of the above. Any films games etc.. not classified by the bbfc are in breach of the video recording act and are illegal to sell and posess.
