All video releases must be sent for classification to the British Board of Film Classification, for which the video company must pay. If the film is then captioned, it must be resubmitted to the Board, again at the film company's expense "5 However, the BBFC told Read Hear that it has kept its charges for this resubmission (which is a legal requirement) to a minimum.
