Yeah, they're not only bound by the law, but their own guidelines that they've made up themselves. I've mentioned this before, but with cockfights, they'll be cut if the filmmakers arrange it and film it, not cut if they film a cockfight that was happening anyway. It's a joke. Both are being put on presented on film for our "enjoyment", yet one isn't considered cruelty.
With regards to tv though, the BBFC have no say about that. God forbid they ever do!
