List of works rejected by the British Board of Film Classification
The following is a list of works submitted for certification to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), that were not immediately or, in some cases, ever granted a certificate due to them being unsuitable for classification. Since its inception in 1912, it has been the BBFC's duty to classify films, television programmes, video games, advertisements and other visual media according to their content. If a work is deemed unacceptable by the BBFC according to their guidelines or potentially illegal under British law, they can choose to refuse a certificate to that work. Although these works can be shown in cinemas with the permission of local councils, they cannot legally be sold on home video. Online streaming platforms are not required to have their content certified by the BBFC, though many do. Over the years, several works have been refused a certificate, effectively banning them. Some of these works were later classified uncut; some were cut to meet the BBFC's guidelines; and some have never been granted a certificate. Works rejected, later classified uncut
