Reflections

So far, I've learnt quite a few things about the BBFC and what they actually do.

1. They are not autonomous to government control in order to protect films from political influence.

2. They are answerable to OFCOM. They are also accountable to film distributors, because every time a film is made, the BBFC need to regulate and charge the companies.

3. Even though the BBFC regulate films, the local authority have the full power and they themselves can decide what can and can't be shown at the cinema and can give films their own certificates.
