I grew up at the tail end of the video nasty era. It's not the 80s anymore, the BBFC is no longer afraid of its own shadow and rolling over to accommodate moral crusades from the daily mail.

They are open about their process, they have regular public reviews (they even have a podcast where they discuss current and past decisions etc) and virtually every cut made to films in the last 10 years were advisory and made by the production in order to obtain a preferred certificate.

I guess my question is, what are you actually protesting about? Do you think there should be no age restrictions at all?

Also seen as the majority of works sent for classification children's shows, don't you think the reviewers are used to watching mind numbing content.

Do you miss using Steenbecks etc? What would you say have been the major benefits and disadvantages with the move to NLEs such as Avid?

There is been a lot of talk about the lack of gender balance in the film industry, particularly when it comes to directors. It appears that post production being far more balanced on that front with many great female editors such as yourself, Thelma Schoonmaker, Dody Dorn, Anne Coates and many others. What do you think it is about post production that has resulted in it being more balanced?
