Slim, the last BBFC guidelines were published at the start of 2019 so the next ones can be expected at the start of next year. The consultations would be being carried out this year and much of that would have already been done. So it's quite possible that concerns raised by parents are already being taken into account by the BBFC.
@El Loro posted:BBFC carries out reviews of their classification guidelines in consultation with the public as to public expectations. They've been doing that for some time but I don't think they did back in the days when they were the British Board of Film Censors rather than of Film Censors back in 1984. Presumably those consultations have had concerns raised by parents. The BBFC would say that any reclassification has been as a result of those concerns (outside changes in the law which wouldn't be of any relevance re "The Red Shoes")
BBFC would generally be looking at existing film classifications either when a film is to be re-released in cinemas, released or re-released on DVD/Blu-ray or can be done by the likes of Netflix if they are intending to make a film or programme available. In exceptional circumstances they can make a sudden reclassification decision say if there's been a change in the law. In the case of "The Red Shoes" it's because it's to be re-released in cinemas later this year.
Yes, that makes sense 
and I'm glad those decisions are made in conjuction with comments the viewing public have voiced

Incidentally, the BBFC make a point of including teachers from nursery to university in their consultation as well as a cross section of the public

You may have seen this news item about a light aircraft having to make an emergency landing on the A40 Golden Valley bypass:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-...cestershire-66468326
Luckily, no one was injured and no vehicles on the bypass were involved. Happened just before 6 pm last evening so the road would have been very busy,
The bypass re-opened a couple of hours later.

Blimey! it's very lucky no-one was injured 
Even a light aircraft could do some damage to an oncoming vehicle....

Windy and dry to the start here but thunderstorms promised between 11.00 and 15.00. We may get a little rain later
Have a nice day everyone
No thunderstorms forecast here for today, Moonie - BBC has thunderstorm symbols for Monday from 10am to 7pm here though not on the Met Office forecast.
Rather odd short piece of animation from 1930:

It's somewhat creepy, somewhat callous and somewhat distasteful
It's called "Heart and Flowers" and uses the music from the song of that name which was written in 1893 by Theodore Moses-Tobani. That song was based on a 1981piece of music called "WintermÃĪrchen" by Alphons Czibulka. The reason for mentioning this is because the theme has been used in many films and cartoons so you will probably recognise it though not know what it was called.

Nice to hear from you Summer, and I hope you are keeping well
Slim, a couple of films on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the comping week.
Tomorrow at 15.15 "The Small Back Room" (1949) with David Farrar, Kathleen Byron and Jack Hawkins, directed and written by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, the film they made after their "The Red Shoes". It;s about a bomb disposal expert who has become disillusioned and due to an injury is in constant pain do he drinks to dull the pain. It's a serious film and is possibly the most mature British film of the 1940s. The most challenging bombs he has to deal with are booby trapped ones. It's a very good film. Incidentally Michael Gough has a key role, Oddly enough, the piece of music "WintermÃĪrchen" I mentioned yesterday is in the film.
There;s a very minor British film on Wednesday at 8.40 am called "Murder at the Windmill" (1949), which was the first film to be shot partially at the Windmill Theatre and includes some musical routines from the Windmill Girls but they are clothed this being a 1949 film, The detective sergeant was an early role for Jon Pertwee.
