BBFC: 1980s

The 1980s was when we saw the Uc, PG, 12, 15, 18 and R18  ratings that we are more familiar with nowadays.

• Uc was introduced for video, indicating films suitable for all
• PG took the place of  'A'
• 15 took the place of 'AA'
• 18 took the place of 'X'
• R18 was introduced for sex works
• 12 was introduced to bridge the gap between PG and 15

The 80s saw the release of the Rambo series, with 1 and 2 passed uncut at 15, and 3 cut to obtain an 18 certificate. Batman became the first film to get a 12 certificate.
