 18= suitable for anyone over the age of 18, but is not allowed to be shown to a younger audience or sold to a younger audience

the BBFC was founded in 1912, originally they did the half and safety as early film stock, and limelightand projectors which where both fire hazards


in 1916 T.P.O'Connor was made president of the BBFC
T.P.O'Connor summarised the BBFC by giving it 43 grounds of deletion. the list was drawn from one of the boards annual reports between 1913-15.

here are some of the grounds of deletion

1. Indecorous, ambiguous and irreverent titles and subtitles
2. Cruelty to animals
3. The irreverent treatment of sacred subjects
4. Drunken scenes carried to excess
5. Vulgar accessories in the staging
6. The modus operandi of criminals
7. Cruelty to young infants and excessive cruelty and torture to adults, especially women
8. Unnecessary exhibition of under-clothing
9. The exhibition of profuse bleeding
10. Nude figures
11. Offensive vulgarity, and impropriety in conduct and dress

at the start there was only two age ratings U and A and there was only two examiners then in the 1920's there was 4 examiners and a women, how ever their identity still remains a secret

in the early days the BBFC had no rules or guidelines but that changed in 1930 when Hays Office introduced them in Hollywood

during the time of the wars the BBFC was mainly concerned with the Gangsta and horror films that where being made in that time period. so some councils where banning children from seeing A rated films even after they had been cut to match BBFC regulations

Disney's snow white and the seven dwarfs was originally classed an an A film by the BBFC it was then cut in 1938 and cut again before it could be a U, the film was then re-released again as a U

Coraline

Coraline was given the PG ratting

the BBFC allow some horror aspects in PG rated films but to combat the horror silly songs and the dancing mice where introduced because a younger audience my view the film, and this may cause negative effects on the young children( them being scared, nightmares and such) and they did not feel that a U rating would not work for this film

in other aspects the fight scenes in the film has less intensity added to the instead of being intense
