Film censorship in the United Kingdom

Film censorship in the United Kingdom is when films that are shown in the UK have certain parts taken out so they can be shown to people of all ages. This is done to protect children from seeing violence, horrible language, or any other things that could upset them. Parents or guardians decide what films are appropriate for their kids to watch. Pictures, videos, and movies can be censored to make them suitable for everyone to watch. This means that films may need to be edited or parts of them might be cut out so that the film is safe for everyone.
