What is the BBFC?

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), originally British Board of Film Censors, is a non-governmental organisation, funded by the film industry and responsible for the national classification of films within the United Kingdom. It has a statutory requirement to classify videos, DVDs and some video games under the Video Recordings Act 2010.

Examples of Movies

12A: CHRONICLE
15: 21 JUMP STREET
PG: MADAM BUTTERFLY 3D
18: NIGHT OF VENGEANCE


The chart below shows the evolution of the BBFC category system from 1913, when only the ‘U’ and ‘A’ certificates existed, to the present day.

  1. The task was to explain the ratings and to give three examples of film in each category. I am not interested in the history of the BBFC ratings.
    I would prefer it if you wrote in your own words rather than copying and pasting.
