BBFC and PCC seminars

Why were they useful?

• Put the PCC into context seeing the offices where they work
• Meeting acutual examiners/employees of the companies open me to see the offices on a day-to-day basis
• A chance to ask relevant, up to date questions to the representatives from the PCC and the BBFC

What have you learnt?

• The BBFC have to watch and report on 5hr41mins of footage each day
• There is debate in both offices over what decisions should be made - not as clear cut as I thought
• Other information largely re-affirming revision of what we've learnt so far

Anything unexpected/surprising?

• Surprising how much influence the PCC has in preventing harassment, even prior to publication of information
• The Dark Knight and King's Speech were both initially15 rated before being lowered on grounds of context
