About this listen

In this episode, we'll be discussing the history of the British Board of Film Classification, and the emergence of the video nasty!


We examine the beginnings of the BBFC, along with Hammer, James Bond, delinquent teenagers, and somehow, the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. We may even talk about the Daily Mail and old fuddy-duddy bigots, which may not surprise anyone.


Thanks to the BBFC though, we've been marked as safe from violent sausage-nunchuk gangs.
