At the risk of hijacking this thread, and apologies to Mr. Dakin if that happens, but what do people think of 'Tom and Jerry'?
When I was a child, in the 70's and early 80's, it seemed that whenever the BBC had 5 minutes of space in their programming, they would put on a 'Tom and Jerry' cartoon
I loved those fillers!
But I seem to recall a lot of controversy about them - both the 'racist' elements (the housekeeper was a real "lawdy lawdy' big Momma character) and also the 'violence' that was seen in those cartoons - and so they were taken off the screen. This would have been about the same time as the video nasties scandal
I cannot remember the last time I saw a 'Tom and Jerry ' cartoon on the television
What are your memories of them?
When was the last time you saw 'Tom and Jerry' on television?
