Certification - PG (parental guidance)

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 in an educational or historical context.

  • 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.
