Oasis Documentary Given Guidance From U.K. Film Ratings Body Over Inclusion of ‘Cigarettes’ and ‘Alcohol’
A new documentary about Oasis has been given guidance from U.K. ratings body BBFC criticized as woke by the British tabloid press
“Oasisdefinitely,” directed by the former managing director of Oasis’ label Creation Records Tim Abbott and timed to release in the U.K. with the launch of the band’s sell-out tour ( which kickstarted in Cardiff on Friday), looks back over hundreds of hours of previously unseen archive footage. Last year, it sparked a minor fury — including from Piers Morgan — after a line in its guidance for “Wicked” alerted viewers to the film’s depiction of discrimination against a woman with green skin and the persecution of talking animals. “We base all our age ratings and content advice on our Classification Guidelines, which are the result of large-scale consultation with the public — most recently involving 12,000 people — which are updated every four to five years to ensure they continue to reflect the expectations of U.K. audiences.”
