- PG films are for general viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children
- Unaccompanied children of any age may watch
- 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
Criteria:
Discrimination - Discriminatory language or behaviour is unlikely to be acceptable unless clearly disapproved of or in an educational or historical context. Discrimination by a character with which children can readily identify is unlikely to be acceptable
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 content
Sex - Sexual activitiy 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 treament should condone unacceptable behaviour
Violence - Moderate violence, without detail, may be allowed, if justifiedby its context (for example, history, comedy or fantasy)
