I don 't know about who could watch PG in Britain, but I do know that here in the States that we just got ratings for the different tv programs being braod cast here in the States. The Encore Channel's WAM gave PG a rating of Y7 (for those who have no idea what that means, it maens that it is for youth(Y) over the age of 7(7). I thought at first that the age was too high, then I QUICKLY chnged my mind. I don't think anyone under the age of seven could comprehend most of PG. Trust me, I am in school Studing to be a Early Childhood Teacher (ie. Pre. K-5th grade (3year old-10 year old)). Most of the students I have worked with so far (Kindergarten (5year olds)) have trouble remembering what day of the week it is. (but they are quickly learning.)
