Although un-rated, I would suggest that this film would qualify for a 12 rating if reviewed by the BBFC. It can be downloaded in a choice of two formats: the smaller Real Media format file which requires "Real Media Player" to view (download the "Free Real Player" here) and the higher quality "wmv" file which can be played in "Windows Media Player".

Due to the size of the files, they are best downloaded using a broadband (ADSL or high speed cable Internet) connection.
