Overall change in BBFC history

• Guidelines have become specific, official and publicly available and approved
• Age ratings for both cinematic and home entertainment have become more prolific, covering smaller age brackets
• The BBFC has become more responsible and accountable - now rating cinematic films, home release and video games
• The change and development through a variety of different Presidents and Directors have meant more leniency on film as an artistic expression
• Increasing acknowledgment of the 'media sophistication' of (young) audiences allowing more films to be passed uncut as the possible effects of film are known and therefore are more sensibly treated
