What is a typical day like for an Examiner?
Examiners view 5 hours and 40 minutes of material a day, but there is not really a typical day as what we watch completely depends on what is submitted by distributors. Our work is allocated randomly so we could be viewing anything from the latest blockbuster or high profile video game to episodes of 1960s or 1970s TV series due for DVD release. Once we have finished watching the day’s viewing we will discuss the classification, re-watch contentious moments, read up on similar works and write reports explaining how and why we made our recommendations. We will also write Consumer Advice – a concise line of information which gives the public a clear idea of the reason a work has received a particular rating.
