The Brittish Board of FIlm Classificaion must give every film a certificate before it's screened in cinemas to protect the people watching.
Wiki:The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), originally British Board of Film Censors, is a non-governmental organisation, funded by the film industry and responsible for the national classification of films within the United Kingdom. It has a statutory requirement to classify videos, DVDs and some video games under the Video Recordings Act 2010.
