I've got a box set of It Ain't Half Hot Mum, and it's amazing what they got away with. And what about this?Norpig wrote:Don't think i've ever watched Gone with the wind so no idea what the issue is. Little Britain had the Bubbles character which i think was meant to be a big black woman so they've been accused of blacking up.
Leigh Francis (aka Keith Lemon) apologised for him doing similar on Bo Selecta but i think personally it's all over the top as times were different and i don't remember it being an issue at the time.
Are we going to ban everything with even the remotest whiff of a racial issue in now? There'll be nothing left to watch!
