Its all a case of the namby panby state not wanting to offend anyone but the only people that are offended are the general public by them coming up with such rubbish...I remember once there was a case cant remember what ..that we couldnt do or say something incase it offended eg muslims etc and there was a documentry few week later about this on tv to see if it backs up asking the muslim society where they offended by the claims and not one of them said they where or new of anyone that was it just this goverment etc making these false claims so as not to offend anyone..but they are actualy casing more uproar and a hatred divid between people of set groups nationalities etc by making these claims that no one was botherd about in the first place...

Now, if you had mentioned Kenneth Williams, it could've been infamy!

But that would be paranoia and egotism, because they would all have it in 'for me'!

They should leave these dreadful and shameful examples of British "comedy" intact if only so we can see how far we have come since those sordid miserable days.

I completely disagree with you. I'd rather watch In Sickness And In Health or any number of those 70's sitcoms. I personally don't find them offensive at all, no more than I would if there had been one with an all black cast calling white people honkeys every episode. Again, it seems like most of these things don't offend the people being portrayed, but rather, others. I find all these shows extremely funny, and it doesn't make me racist, homophobic, or whatever. For everyone's enjoyment (or disgust)....
