Night of the Bloody Apes (1969), Don't Go in the House (1979), Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981) In 1984, in the U.K., the Video Recording Act was passed, which required certification of all video releases by the British Board of Film Classification, aka BBFC. This all came about due to a list of video titles that a group of various religious and other social groups run by the likes of Mary Whitehouse, deemed unsuitable to be viewed and thought for sure it would help corrupt the youth of England. The initial list had 72 titles on it, both films that had already been released after obtaining a BBFC certificate but now was deemed too offensive, as well as a whole bunch of other titles that were believed to fall under the obscenity law. If you own a shop that rented or sold one of these titles, you could be shut down, fined, and possibly even go to jail for it. And this all took place, not in the dark ages, but in the mid 1980s. Hard to believe it, especially growing up here in the U.S. Some of those titles have only recently gotten passed and released over in the U.K., even 40 years later. Blows the mind. In this episode, we discuss not only the whole Video Nasty era, but cover 3 films from that list, with each of us watching all 3 and see if we made it through without turning us into mindless deviants.

Natasha Kaplinsky has become the first female president of the British Board of Film Classification, which is responsible for setting age guidelines for films, videos and DVDs, as well as content on some streaming services. The journalist, presenter and former newsreader for the BBC, Sky and Channel 5 joins Anita for her first broadcast interview about the role since her appointment in November. She'll discuss what drew her to the job, which topics concern parents the most and how she'll judge today's cultural sensitivities around sex, violence and language. Andrew Tate appeared in court earlier this week and is continuing to be held on charges of rape and human trafficking in Romania – charges his lawyer claims have “no evidence.” One of the top ten most Googled individuals of 2022, a kickboxer turned life coach and former contestant of Big Brother, he gained popularity for his online videos which contained misogynistic content. But Andrew Tate is not the only person spreading those views on social media, there are a host of other men who have that space. So who are they preaching to and why are their messages so popular? Anita speaks to journalist Harriet Hall who interviewed Andrew Tate as part of an investigation into misogyny online for Cosmopolitan magazine and Dr Bettina Rottweiler from University College London who specialises in the relationship between misogyny and different types of violence. Professor Joanna Bourke has been looking into the history of breast cancer. How did the one-step radical mastectomy persist as the most common way to deal with the disease until relatively recently?

Joanna is the Gresham Professor of Rhetoric, and is giving a lecture on the cultural history of breast cancer this evening, which will also be available to watch online. She joins Anita in studio. Dr Rebecca Gomperts has spent her career providing abortions in places where the procedure is restricted or illegal. Her first venture, Women on Waves, saw her using a converted fishing trawler to travel into international waters and perform the procedures on board. Then she started an online service shipping abortion pills to women, using her Austrian medical license to stay within the law. Most recently her attention has turned to the US in the wake of the overturning of Roe vs Wade. She joins Anita Rani to discuss how her work has changed.

MindGeek, the secretive owner of Pornhub, RedTube YouPorn, and Brazzers, employs around sixteen hundred people, and received approximately 4.5 trillion visits each month in 2020, according to a company spokesperson—almost double Google and Facebook combined. Research by the British Board of Film Classification in 2019 suggested 51% of children aged 11 to 13 had seen pornography, rising to 66% of 14- to 15-year-olds. This has since risen. So is there a cost to our happiness, health and wellbeing? We examine the topic from a spiritual perspective. Some of the quotes I used: Lust vs. Love Lust and love have different characteristics, just as iron and gold have different natures. – Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Ādi-līlā 4.164 Thus, a person's pure consciousness is covered by his eternal enemy in the form of lust, which is never satisfied and which burns like fire. - Bhagavad-gītā 3.39 Arjuna said: O descendant of Vṛṣṇi, by what is one impelled to sinful acts, even unwillingly, as if engaged by force? - Bhagavad-gītā 3.36 Śri-Bhagavān said: It is lust only, Arjuna, which is born of contact with the material mode of passion and later transformed into wrath, and which is the all-devouring sinful enemy of this world. – Bhagavad-gītā 3.37 As fire is covered by smoke, as a mirror is covered by dust, or as the embryo is covered by the womb, the living entity is similarly covered by different degrees of this lust. - Bhagavad-gītā 3.38 Thus, a person's pure consciousness is covered by his eternal enemy in the form of lust, which is never satisfied and which burns like fire.- - Bhagavad-gītā 3.39 The senses, the mind and the intelligence are the sitting places of this lust, which veils the real knowledge of the living entity and bewilders him. - Bhagavad-gītā 3.40 Therefore, O Arjuna, best of the Bhāratas, in the very beginning curb this great symbol of sin [lust] by regulating the senses, and slay this destroyer of knowledge and self-realization. - Bhagavad-gītā 3.41 While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises. - Bhagavad-gītā 2.62 There are three gates leading to this hell -- lust, anger and greed. Every sane person should give these up, for they lead to the degradation of the soul. - Bhagavad-gītā 16.21 One who accepts material sense objects as desirable certainly becomes attached to them. From such attachment lust arises, and this lust creates quarrel among men. -Bhāgavata Purāṇa 11.21.19 Nonviolence, truthfulness, honesty, desire for the happiness and welfare of all others and freedom from lust, anger and greed constitute duties for all members of society. - Bhāgavata Purāṇa 11.17.21

As Grandson of George V, George Lascelles was a first cousin to Queen Elizabeth II and with his distinguished beard and Nero style jackets, he was the very image of aristocracy, moving in the highest of royal circles, yet it was in the Royal Circles of Britain's opera houses that he felt most at home. It was at English National Opera North (now Opera North) that Lesley Garrett first met George. With their shared love of all things musical, and both proudly from Yorkshire, they developed a friendship that was to last a lifetime. Having survived capture during the Second World War (deepening his knowledge of opera whilst interned as a prisoner of war), he dedicated much of his time to making opera accessible to all. He strove to deliver the best of opera for everyone, with a genuine passion and commitment that inspired all those he worked with. During his career he served as Director of The Royal Opera House, Chairman of the Board of The English National Opera, Managing Director of the ENO, Managing Director of English National Opera North (now Opera North) and outside of opera he served as a Governor of the BBC and President of the British Board of Film Classification. His other great passion was football. He served as President of Leeds United Football Club from 1961 until his death and was President of the Football Association from 1963 to 1972. As Lesley recalls, he believed that both music and sport were 'levelling', that in these worlds there were no kings or paupers. Throughout his life he supported both of these passions, opening doors for everyone, instilling values of accessibility that live on till this day. He died on 11th July 2011 aged 88. Lesley is joined by Professor Alexandra Wilson, a musicologist, author and cultural historian, specialising in Italian opera and British operatic culture from the 1920's to the present day.

Failed assassination attempt (1989) On 3 August 1989, while Mustafa Mahmoud Mazeh was priming a book bomb loaded with RDX explosive in a hotel in Paddington, Central London, the bomb exploded prematurely, destroying two floors of the hotel and killing Mazeh. A previously unknown Lebanese group, the Organization of the Mujahidin of Islam, said he died preparing an attack "on the apostate Rushdie". There is a shrine in Tehran's Behesht-e Zahra cemetery for Mustafa Mahmoud Mazeh that says he was "Martyred in London, 3 August 1989. The first martyr to die on a mission to kill Salman Rushdie." Mazeh's mother was invited to relocate to Iran, and the Islamic World Movement of Martyrs' Commemoration built his shrine in the cemetery that holds thousands of Iranian soldiers slain in the Iran–Iraq War. Hezbollah's comments (2006) During the 2006 Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah declared that "If there had been a Muslim to carry out Imam Khomeini's fatwā against the renegade Salman Rushdie, this rabble who insult our Prophet Mohammed in Denmark, Norway and France would not have dared to do so. I am sure there are millions of Muslims who are ready to give their lives to defend our prophet's honour and we have to be ready to do anything for that." International Guerillas (1990) In 1990, soon after the publication of The Satanic Verses, a Pakistani film entitled International Gorillay (International Guerillas) was released that depicted Rushdie as a "James Bond-style villain" plotting to cause the downfall of Pakistan by opening a chain of casinos and discos in the country; he is ultimately killed at the end of the movie. The film was popular with Pakistani audiences, and it "presents Rushdie as a Rambo-like figure pursued by four Pakistani guerrillas". The British Board of Film Classification refused to allow it a certificate, as "it was felt that the portrayal of Rushdie might qualify as criminal libel, causing a breach of the peace as opposed to merely tarnishing his reputation." This effectively prevented the release of the film in the UK. Two months later, however, Rushdie himself wrote to the board, saying that while he thought the film "a distorted, incompetent piece of trash", he would not sue if it were released. He later said, "If that film had been banned, it would have become the hottest video in town: everyone would have seen it". While the film was a great hit in Pakistan, it went virtually unnoticed elsewhere. Al-Qaeda hit list (2010) In 2010, Anwar al-Awlaki published an Al-Qaeda hit list in Inspire magazine, including Rushdie along with other figures claimed to have insulted Islam, including Ayaan Hirsi Ali, cartoonist Lars Vilks, and three Jyllands-Posten staff members: Kurt Westergaard, Carsten Juste, and Flemming Rose. The list was later expanded to include Stéphane "Charb" Charbonnier, who was murdered in a terror attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris, along with 11 other people. After the attack, Al-Qaeda called for more killings. Rushdie expressed his support for Charlie Hebdo. He said, "I stand with Charlie Hebdo, as we all must, to defend the art of satire, which has always been a force for liberty and against tyranny, dishonesty and stupidity ... religious totalitarianism has caused a deadly mutation in the heart of Islam and we see the tragic consequences in Paris today." In response to the attack, Rushdie commented on what he perceived as victim-blaming in the media, stating "You can dislike Charlie Hebdo.... But the fact that you dislike them has nothing to do with their right to speak. The fact you dislike them certainly doesn't in any way excuse their murder." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_Rushdie

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.

Welcome to episode 165 of the Creative Writer’s Toolbelt My guest for this episode is the author, James Blatch. Some of you will know James as one half of the team who present the hugely popular Self Publishing Show with Mark Dawson. James is a former radio and television journalist, he has worked for the BBFC, the British Board of Film Classification, so the organisation here in the UK the UK that decides what certificate a film gets. James’ family has a long relationship with the Royal Air Force, his father was a test pilot with the RAF and James has a passion for the planes, which he has carried over into the subject of his first novel, called The Final Flight, which is set on an RAF base in the 1960’s. In this episode we talk about respecting the material you are working with in your novel, the challenge of marketing your first book, and the importance of building an email list. I would also say, I am aware that not all of you listening to this want to self-publish your work, you want to get a traditional publishing contract and that’s a good aim to have, but I would suggest that all of the writing advice and a good part of the marketing advice you here in this episode and on the Creative Writer’s Toolbelt Podcast generally is useful and applicable to you. Even if you do get a traditional publishing contract, and congratulations if you do, you should still be thinking about how you can market your books and your brand, and in particular as it applies to this episode, how important it is for you to build your own email list, however you are published. I had a great conversation with James, I hope you enjoy it and find it useful, here it is

Strong swear words are becoming an increasing part of everyday life, according to research from the British Board of Film Classification. Six in ten of us are now comfortable cursing. A third of us have a greater propensity for profanity than five years ago. What has not changed is the desire to censor swearing in age-restricted cinema and DVD releases. This seems almost quaint in an internet age where almost no content has a gatekeeper. It does, however, point to contradictory attitudes to bad language. Those who dislike swearing think it is vulgar, morally corrupting and intellectually base; the words themselves can be seen an aggressive act, unacceptable in any context. Some see swear words as morally neutral, where any real or perceived harm is entirely dependent upon the intent of the speaker. Others think they can even have a moral power as an expression of strong sentiment and solidarity. Others still, see the creative influence of swear words as linguistically and culturally enriching. Have we become too complacent about bad language? What do generational attitudes to swearing reveal about wider social change? Why have some strong obscenities become more acceptable, while slurs have become less acceptable? How do we negotiate a public discourse in which everyone draws their own lines about the acceptability of swearing? Frankly, should we give a damn? With Peter Hitchens, Dr Rebecca Roache, Esther Rantzen and Simon Donald. Producer: Dan Tierney.

Jaishree Misra is an author of Indian origin living in Britain. She has written eight novels published by Penguin and Harper Collins. She has also written a non-fiction account of building a writer's studio on the beach in her home state of Kerala, India. She is a postgraduate in English Literature from Kerala University and has two diplomas from the University of London, one in Broadcast Journalism and the other in Special Education. She has worked in special education, journalism and as a film classifier at the British Board of Film Classification. She lives in London with her husband and daughter. Her daughter, Rohini, is a woman with special needs and specific difficulties with language and communication. "I tend to assume that people, even my dearest friends, are not that interested in my stories of parenting Rohini. I'm perfectly happy to hear stories of their sons, you know, going off to New York and doing a flash job, or someone else's daughter getting into medical school. And I love those stories, I have not a moments envy or resentment or anything. Because I genuinely enjoy the company of young people, my friends children. So I love those stories. I think I do tend to assume that they might not be as interested in my stories, a little triumph when Rohini came out with a new word. I mean, she's 38, for God's sake, to come out with a new word at the age of 38, I tend to assume would be a little bit embarrassing to announce to the world. So yeah, I hold back."

The aforesaid description can be characterized as a testimony which qualifies me too tightly frame and control this intellectual conversation When The Sun Meets Culture.At the outset When The Sun Meets Culture is not only a theoretical expression but a thought which was existing coupled together and an idea that underpins the citing of physical and concrete existence. The more that I analyse this construct in this space I decided to metaphorically through my lens as an author, license cultural practitioner and Media Arts Specialist navigate this conversation through several different camera angles because these cinematic techniques allowed for greater detail.

Folge #54: Ein Aus von YouPorn und Erotik im Internet - solange ihr Euer Alter nicht beweisen könnt? Wie wäre das für Euch...?!?So geschehen in UK, also, Großbritannien. Also, noch nicht ganz, erst ab dem 15.07.2019 - aber dann wird es ernst! Wer nicht Volljährig ist oder dies nicht beweisen kann, ist raus. Kein YouPorn mehr, kein Pornhub mehr, keine Nackedei glotzen, wann immer man will. Zuerst muss ein Nachweis her, dass eine Volljährigkeit vorliegt. Aber: nicht alle Erotik ist tot - also, was soll das und wie stehst Du zu diesem Thema? Altersverifikations-Ankündigungs-Banner // Bild-Quelle: https://www.bbfc.co.uk/ Ganz in Ernst, das ist kein Witz oder ein verspäteter April-Scherz! Also, so lange es sich die Briten nicht wieder ein paar Mal anders überlegen...! Geplant ist, zum 15.07.2019 die bekannten Porno-Plattformen für den "freien" Zugriff über das Netz zu schließen. Schließen nun nicht im Sinne von dicht machen, sondern schließen im Sinne von Zugriffsbeschränkungen. Und die britische Lösung lautet: belege, dass du 18 oder älter bist, oder der Spaß ist hier für Dich vorbei. Das es wirklich ernst ist, merkt man daran, dass das "The British Board of Film Classification", oder kurz BBFC, mit der Überwachung der Altersverifikation beauftragt worden ist. Vergleichbar ist das BBFC mit der deutschen FSK-Freigabe, der "Freiwilligen Selbstkontrolle der Filmwirtschaft". Überwachung bedeutet: die Seitenbetreiber haben ab Mitte Juli den verbindlichen Job, festzustellen, wie alt Besucher sind und Minderjährige abzuweisen. Das hier, wie bisher bei einigen Seiten, ein Auswahl-Popup zur Einstellung des Geburtsjahrs ausreichen wird, kann wohl stark bezweifelt werden. Wer hat ein Formular dieser Art nicht schon mal (oder niemals?) richtig ausgefüllt - was teilweise an den schlechten Bedienmöglichkeiten liegt... oder so... Höchstwahrscheinlich wird die aktuelle UK-Kategorie "R18", für 18 und darüber, speziell mit Erotik und Fetisch, ausgeweitet: aktuell bezieht sich die Einstufung auf Sexshops und Sexkinos, hier werden wohl dann die Porn-Seiten einsortiert. Wichtiger Unterschied zu Deutschland: R18-Produktionen dürfen in UK NICHT per Post verschickt werden! Britens Digitalministerin rechtfertigt diesen Schritt als erstmalig auf der Welt, was schon mal richtig sein dürfte. Und dann noch mit "privacy reasons", die einem auf den ersten Blick nicht einleuchten wollen und natürlich mit dem Schutz Minderjähriger vor dem Zugriff auf, na ja, verstörendes Material. Nochmal zu den Privacy-Gründen: Erotikportale sammeln heute unglaublich viele Daten, wenn sie eine eigene Lösung zum Thema "Altersverifikation" anbieten. Um dieser Sammelwut entgegenzuwirken und einen einheitlichen, nennen wir es, Standard zu definieren, greift hier die BBFC ein. An sich ja eine gute Sache, was? Nein! Aber nicht aus Gründen, an die ihr jetzt denkt! Es gibt eine handvoll Gründe, die gegen dieses Vorgehen sprechen: Es trifft nur "offizielle" Webseiten: YouPorn oder PornHub fallen einem als erstes ein, wenn man an Porno-Seiten denkt. Oder die eine oder andere, na ja, "Spezialseite", die "Berühmtheit" erlangt hat. Diese Art der Webseiten würden in UK künftig unter dieses "Kontroll-Modell" fallen. Besuchst du aber einen Aggregator wir z.B. reddit bist du, sofern der Anbieter nicht freiwillig auf eine Kontrolle setzt, raus. Dies gilt auch für breitere Angebote, die wir heutzutage salopp "Social Media" nennen.VPN geht immer! Wer kennt das aktuell nicht: Games of Throne, neue und letzte(?) Staffel im TV... aber eben nur USA. Also: VPN installiert, USA als Ort eingegeben - und mit gucken. Rate mal! Ja, genau! VPN installiert und eben NICHT UK eingestellt und schon bist Du aus dem Verfahren raus. Wer bei Google eine harmlose Suche eingibt, findet sofort einen Anbieter, der hier aktuell sehr viel Werbung für diesen Zweck fährt...Und jetzt der Hammer: Viel Aufwand um nichts! Wie ich das jetzt meine? Ganz einfach: eine Digitalministerin, eine Organisation, die mit der Kontrolle der Umsetzung beauftragt wird... und trotzdem... ist diese Regelung kein Gesetz! JA! Richtig gelesen! Es ist kein GE-SE-HETZ! Ein erstes Bespiel, dass von dieser Regelung ausgenommen ist, ist MindGeek - der Betreiber von Pornhub. MindGeek hat ein eigenes System der Altersverifikation im Einsatz. Stellt sich mir jetzt nur die Frage: Warum der ganze Aufwand? Die "Vorschrift" ist kein Gesetz, es ist anscheinend irgendwie verbindlich und wird, wohl gegen Strafe, von einer Organisation und keiner Behörde, nun ja, "überwacht". Wäre es nicht einfacher gewesen, bestehenden Altersverifikationen ein Maximum an legal sammelbaren Daten zu erlauben und fertig? Das hierbei ein gängiger Standard entshe, der künftig für ein paar Pence gemietet und auf alle Seiten eingebunden werden kann, wäre höher gewesen, als dieses verpflichtend-freiwillige "Du-Du-Du!"-System?!? Wenn man all diese Fakten kennt, erschließt sich der Aufwand für das alles plötzlich nicht mehr... andererseits: ich sehe schon Merkel, Scholz, Altmaier und eine etliche weitere überflüssige Minister dieses Thema im Bundestag diskutieren. Öffentlich, für alle Altersklassen. Mit dem Ergebnis, dass Merkel nichts sagt, eine unbekannte Justiz- und Verbraucherministerin ein paar warme Worte für ihren Absprung ins EU-Altersvorsorge-Parlament los wird und Altmaier... Na ja, er wird Chancen für die Großindustrie und hoffentlich auch den Mittelstand raus posaunen. Und, wie 14 Jahre zuvor: passieren wird nichts, aber eine Sonderabgabe und ein Nackt-Soli für Kleiderspenden der Hauptdarsteller werden die Steuerlast um weitere 5-15% in die Höhe treiben. Nun gut, Spaß beiseite: Man steht ein wenig unentschlossen in der Mitte der Pro und Cons der UK-Pläne: sicherlich sinnvoll, aber in der aktuellen Version eher eine Kohl'sche ABM-Maßnahme für nichts. Aber leider nichts, was man in Deutschland nicht schon oft und dauerhaft erlebt hat... also, erst mal eine kleine Pause auf einer Erwachsenen-Seite einlegen...!

The skipper once again spoke on the cramped schedule, which hampers preparation.

ENTERTAINMENT In a sensational turn of events, while the British Board of Film Classification on Thursday cleared the conflict-ridden Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film Padmavati, for a scheduled release on December 1, sources close to filmmakers reveal that there's no plan to release the film as of now- not in UK, not in India. Meanwhile, BBFC has certified the film as 12A and categorized it as a "feature" in "drama" genre and has said that there's "moderate violence, injury detail" in the film. Back home, CBFC chief Prasoon Joshi said that CBFC has to follow certain guidelines and it can’t simply give a certificate to a film just because it has submitted the application form. Joshi said CBFC also wants to take a “balanced decision” about the film but it should be given enough time to do that.

In this episode of the podcast we discuss how film classification works in other countries, as well as the BBFC's role in a pilot to age rate music videos online.

In an Empire podcast first, readers posed their Twitter questions, queries and grievances on movie ratings direct to the man who oversees classifications on a daily basis, BBFC executive director David Austin. Why was Gremlins rated 15? Why did What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? go from an 18 to 12? What’s a 12A for, anyway? What happened with A Good Day To Die Hard? We made Austin a cup of tea, showed him to the hot seat and fired your questions at him for 55 fascinating minutes.
