Certificate Um...

In light of recent cases where radio advertising has been booked for commercials promoting films that have yet to be given a certificate, the RACC are now willing to accept ads that carry a "certificate to be announced" or "certificate to be confirmed" tag.

These tags are approved on the proviso that they are replaced once the film has been passed by the BBFC in line with existing advice, that the certificates be included in ads for films of a rating of 15 or 18.
