‘PG’ and ‘12a’ are very similar except that ‘12a’ may have:
- Aggressive discrimination if clearly condemned
- Misuse of drugs, but infrequent, criticised and not shown in detail
- Moderate physical and psychological threat
- Dangerous behaviour (but not dwelled upon or shown to be harm free)
- Moderate language and infrequent use of strong language e.g. ‘fuck’
- Brief nudity in a sexual context
- Discreet portrayal of sexual activity
- More mature themes
- Gory moments if justified by context
- Implied sexual violence if justified
