@Johnag4004 It'll be because somehow sky has somewhat classified it has 18 possibly in error
best to report it by sending an email to viewerr@sky.uk

If it was a 12 upwards, I wouldn't be asking, it's a U rated film, this keeps happening every few months, I've asked, Sky about it before but never heard anything from them...
