I'll often use the BBFC website as a research tool and starting point when trying to find out if a film or TV series was released on video in the UK post 1985. I don't think even half of the stuff the OFLC have reviewed is even in the online database. Both the NZ OFLC and BBFC have fairly detailed descriptions when something is censored or detailed reasons why something is banned, while the AU OFLC just says "RC", and that's only if the title appears in the online database.
