UK Gold censorship

[Dick Swiveller]

I don't understand why this was ironic? Was your Gran black?

Obviously, it was like rain on your wedding day and a free ride when you are already late. Dontcha think?

Some people never be happy....

I am interested to see what Comedy Central do with the A-Team re-runs they're going to air as Murdoch frequently refers to B.A mud-sucker.

My opinion is that shows from the past like these should carry a content warning and perhaps links where viewers can get more information.

Other than that I can't see any other way of keeping everyone happy.

I've seen a lot of people moaning when such warnings are given out too.

Fact is some people just want to be outraged because the world is changing.

Just wait until you see what has happened to Till death do us part and In sickness and in health.

Humourless souls.

Watched the second ever episode of Porridge yesterday morning, it bought back amazing memories, as I watched back in October 1974 with my dear old Gran and Grandad.

Its the one where Fletch sets up a gambling version of Snakes and Ladders in the coke store with Lukewarm, Heslop and Evans, Mr Mackay gets wind of it and despatches a coal delivery down there.

The four emerge covered in soot to which Mackay utters the line "Welcome to the Black and White Minstrel Show", which ironically at the time was my Gran's favourite TV programme, 47 years ago the three of us laughed out loud.

Yesterday morning UK Gold elected to remove that line from the broadcast, whilst the scene was still funny, Fulton Mackay's line was the pay off so clearly something was missing.

But was it really that offensive in 21st century Britain?

I appreciate that times have changed but surely we just can't whitewash history and popular culture of a certain time just to appease the woke brigade?

Honestly if they left it in as they have been doing previously since UK Gold began broadcasting in 1993, how many people would actually have complained?

Whitewash

I've been re-watching The West Wing via the All4 App.. The episode I watched today edited out a scene where Charlie has an issue with a Racist Supreme Court Nominee. The whole point of the scene was to draw attention to the fact Racism is prevalent still

I'd rather a warning then an edit. But I agree people just want an excuse to be annoyed.

As predicable as night follows day the fairy Bakers would wheel out the cliche machine with this one

 

[wellquickwoody]

Anyway, why are you watching Porridge ? It hasn’t been funny since about 1980

If you cannot laugh at Porridge, then oxygen is wasted upon you.

I see the whole troll brigade are here, today. It's all they can do, as they never have anything to say that's of any interest.
