Film Classification: PG



"PG" stands for Parental Guidance. General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. A "PG" film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. Parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children.
  • Discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly disapproved of or in an educational or historical context.
  • Referneces to illegal drugs or drug-misuse must be innocuous or carry a suitable anti-drug message.
  • Frightening scenes should not be prolonged/intense, although fantasy settings are a mitigating factor.
  • No detail of potentially dangerous behaviour which young children are likely to copy, and no glamorisation of realistic or easily accesible weapons.
  • Mild bad language only.
  • Natural nudity, with no sexual content.
  • Sexual activity may be implied but should be discreet and infrequent. Mild sex references and innuendo only.
  • Where more serious issues are featured unacceptable behaviour should not be condoned.
  • Moderate violence without detail and in context may be allowed.
