well I let ds nearly 6 watch Dr Who cos all his friends do and it was only when I went to get dvd out of library that I realised they had a 12 cert.!

Excalibur (if the one with helen mirren) excellent film. Has incest too though, so probably best you moved over to power rangers

Mumcentreplus · 18/08/2009 23:12

It can happen...anything that isn't a U you have to think
but Excalibur is an Adult movie what was the rating?..I remember this movie... 80s right?...totally not suitable imo.

AnyFucker · 18/08/2009 23:12

the exact same thing has happened to us with that film

completely unexpected, don't blame yourself

and yes, it is quite explicit

In future, go to IMDB.com and type in the film name. Then down the side is parental guide. It tells you all about sex/nudity, language,violence etc...

misssunny it is a fab film though, recommend you watch it later

And for all teh dr who fans ^do not let your children watch torchwood whatever you do^...

I am 35 and still traumatised... It is not the same as dr who... Just in case anyone was thinking that...

Didnt we all hide behind the couch when we were 6 while watching Dr Who, every time the Darliks came on the screen.

That was all the parental guidence we had as a child, Mum shouting "quick hide behind the couch".

I remember watching films with my family when I was young. If something remotly rude came on my dad would find something to send me the shop for.

Thank goodness you didn't pause for the drink break!

I haven't fallen into this problem, mainly because I realised early enough that I had to pay attention to film classifications when DD, at about 4-5, found a U cartoon (Lady and the Tramp II) almost too scary to sit through.

So I'm now pondering her request to get the new Harry Potter as soon as its out on DVD - she's 10.5 now, I think its a 12A. Suppose I could get it and watch it first while she's at school...

DD does get exposed to a lot of sex and violence on TV - some bad cases of infanticide... yes, she loves Spring/AutumnWatch

I made this mistake (but only with myself though) watching Pan's Labyrinth, cert 15. I sort of assumed it would be a bit fantasy-ish but not too scary. I would have chanced it with the kids (13 and 14), but thankfully I didn't...It had perhaps one of the most traumatically violent scenes in it I have ever seen, and I hed to leave the room

God, yes, that scene in Pan's Labyrinth is unwatchable. If I'd seen that as a five year old, I think I'd just be getting out of therapy now!

Great film, though.

LOL at Frosty's Mum

Oh, and DO NOT under any circumstances let your children watch a film called Meet The Feebles - looks like a jolly little puppet show type thing. It's not.

Meet the Feebles is absolutely classic but very very rude

not your fault
