Uc - Where a film has been specifically made for under 5 year olds.
U - Universal - anyone of any age over 4 years old can watch the film
PG - Any age can see the film as long as they have a parent with them but some scenes may be inappropiate for some young children
12 - This catagory is mainly used for buying DVD's etc.
12A - Film is for 12 and overs but younger people can view if with a parent. Not recommended for under 12 year olds
The 12/12A catagory is a contriversial classifiction as 12A didnt exist until 2002 after film makers of Spiderman were told that the classification was going to be 12 but due to the age group attraction to the comic book hero there were many talks to try and change this but then the BBFA (British Board of Film Classification) came up with a compromise - the 12A classification. This meant that parents were given the decision to decide if they wanted to take their child to see the film.
