13+

13+ (Viewers 13 and over) Programming may not be suitable for children under the age of 13.

 

 

 

This program either contains several violent scenes or one or more scenes that are violent enough

 

 

 

to affect them. Viewing in the company of an adult is therefore strongly recommended for children

 

 

 

under the age of 13.

 

 

 

 

 

 

8+

8+ (Viewers 8 and over) Not recommended for young children. This program is suitable for most

 

 

 

audiences, but it contains mild or occasional violence that could upset young children. Viewing in the

 

 

 

company of an adult is therefore recommended for young children (under the age of 8) who do not

 

 

 

distinguish between reality and imagination.

 

 

 

 

 

 

G

G (General Audience) This program is suitable for audiences of all ages. It contains no violence,

 

 

 

or any violence that it does contain is either minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a

 

 

 

caricature, or in an unrealistic way.
