'15' – Suitable only
for 15 years and over
No-one younger than 15 may see
a
‘15’ film in a cinema. No-one younger than 15 may
rent or
buy a ‘15’ rated video or DVD.
Theme
No theme is prohibited, provided the
treatment is appropriate to 15 year olds.
Language
There may be frequent use of strong language
(eg
'fuck'). But the strongest terms (eg 'cunt') will be acceptable only
where justified by the context. Continued aggressive use of the
strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.
Nudity
Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context
but
without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a
non-sexual or educational context.
Sex
Sexual activity may be portrayed but without
strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual
behaviour.
Violence
Violence may be strong but may not dwell on
the
infliction of pain or injury. Scenes of sexual violence must be
discreet and brief.
Imitable techniques
Dangerous techniques (eg combat, hanging,
suicide
and self-harming) should not dwell on imitable detail. Easily
accessible weapons should not be glamorised.
Horror
Strong threat and menace are permitted. The
strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.
Drugs
Drug taking may be shown but the film as a
whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse.
