"Parents would like to calibrate parental controls to filter out inappropriate music video content for their children and we look forward to working with the Digital Service Providers to incorporate these findings into the way age ratings and BBFC insight is presented on their platforms. Non-UK label artists wanting to submit music videos for an age rating and further digital service providers wishing to display them are also welcome to help broaden the coverage of age ratings for online music video content in the UK." - BBFC (British Board of Film Certification)
After we watched the 'Princess Bride' as part of our understanding of age categorisation in film certification we had a talk from an employee of the BBFC. He used the 'Princess Bride' as an example of films that needed to be reviewed by them again due to the mild gore and some inappropriate language such as "Son of a bitch". The film was originally given a PG rating but after many requests to have it reviewed again to fit with modern society. The BBFC stated that they believed that the film still stood as a PG as the gore and strong language is only mild and brief.
