# Guidance Game



Listener participation fun from the end of 2006, that arose due to [Barnyard](/web/20190501025943/http://www.witterpedia.net/wiki/index.php/Barnyard "Barnyard") and a suggestion from listener Peter in Gloucester for a game in which Mark try and work out a film from a purported [BBFC](/web/20190501025943/http://www.witterpedia.net/wiki/index.php/BBFC "BBFC") guidance warning - in this case, contains "scenes of bovine death and poultry peril."

Later submissions included:

* "Do not look directly at the son" - The Omen
* "Contains no revolution" - Marie Antoinette
* "Contains scenes of mild [Meryl](/web/20190501025943/http://www.witterpedia.net/wiki/index.php/Muri%C3%ABl%5FStrepsil "Muriël Strepsil")" - The Devil Wears Prada
* "Contains scenes of mild Persil" - My Beautiful Laundrette
* "May contain nuts" - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
* "Best before 1985" - 1984
* "Warning: [Blair's spin](/web/20190501025943/http://www.witterpedia.net/wiki/index.php/Alastair%5FCampbell "Alastair Campbell") may induce vomiting" - [The Exorcist](/web/20190501025943/http://www.witterpedia.net/wiki/index.php/The%5FExorcist "The Exorcist")
* "Contains prolonged and ill-advised tap dancing, incessant quirkiness and floppy hair" - [Elizabethtown](/web/20190501025943/http://www.witterpedia.net/wiki/index.php/Elizabethtown "Elizabethtown")

Mark would later review the entire [Box Office Top 10](/web/20190501025943/http://www.witterpedia.net/wiki/index.php/Box%5FOffice%5FTop%5F10 "Box Office Top 10") in a [similar style](/web/20190501025943/http://www.witterpedia.net/wiki/index.php/BBFC-style%5FBox%5FOffice%5FTop%5F10 "BBFC-style Box Office Top 10").
