Do Examiners watch films/DVDs/video games on their own or in a big group?
That depends on the material. Cinema films, video games, contentious works and some adult material is viewed in pairs – all other works are viewed alone. However, many works are viewed more than once internally, with additional teams or more senior members of staff viewing works before a decision is reached. For example some controversial material that requires a second viewing might be seen by three Examiners and representatives of senior management and the policy department.
