The Respondent, in screening LA Confidential and Platoon ( both with Film and Publication Board age restrictions of 18 plus classification) with an age restriction of under 18 before the watershed, contravened the Code. This was also true of The Lincs, which is part of a series: the specific episode should have been subjected to an age restriction of 18, although it was broadcast at 21:30.
