The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) was set up in 1912 and has classed cinema films since then and DVDs and Games since 1984. Although they class films the local council can overrule them on anything. The BBFC is a 'Not for Profit' organisation which only charges the company on its costs and has never received subsidies from the government or the film industry. why do they do it? protect the public, and especially children, from content which might raise harm risks, empower the public, especially parents, to make informed viewing choices. Funnily Monty Pythons: Life of Brian is banned in quite a lot of countries due to it non religious content. In Malaysia all of the Monty Python sketches are banned. The only films banned in the UK still are c**ksucker blues, Mikey and Grotesque, i believe that the human centipede 2 ban has been lifted after making 32 cuts.
