Film classifiers are taking no chances on Abba: The Movie ­nowadays over references to Agnetha ­Faltskog's (pictured) backside. The singer was described as having the 'sexiest bottom in pop' when the film was made in 1977. But the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has now changed the film's rating from a U to a PG because of its 'mild sex references' and 'language.' It has also produced new parental guidance for the film - 47 years after its release.
