O F A H......in Sickness And In Wealth - Why Are They Hacking Them About?

[ToraToraTora]

Just watching this and once again the script has been butchered. This was cut from the hospital bed scene, why:

//Del – What about that unisex hair-dresser’s. down the high street?

Rodney – Well, what about it?

Del – Well, I went in there last month for a trim, didn’t I? And I thought I was going to get one of the dolly birds in the miniskirts, you know, and all that, but who did I get? They gave me some mush called Jason.

Rodney – So?

Del – So, say he was a bandit.

Rodney – I don’t believe… Del, you cannot go around making accusations against innocent people. Anyway, you can’t catch it off a comb.

Del – No, but say he nicked my neck with his razor or something.

Rodney – So long as he doesn’t kiss it better, you’re laughing, ain’t you?//

They are just killing comedy.

Good gawd, nothing is safe any more from the … letters of your own choice

[bednobs]

why dont you just watch it on dvd?

[ToraToraTora]

that's not the point nobs, our comedy heritage is being wrecked by TROBers over nothing, I can't see any reason whatsoever to remove the above lines.

[ToraToraTora]

once DVDs are gone there will be no copies of the originals in tact, current+future generations will get a sanitised version based on "rules" that no one can fathom bar the TROBers. never again will anyone see these sitcoms as the writer intended.

perhaps it was cut because it was painfully uncomic, who knows.

[THECORBYLOON]

Do you watch whatever channel the episodes are on just to be offended by a minor edit?

[THECORBYLOON]

Why not prevent further offence by contacting the broadcaster for a list of all similarly "butchered" OFAH episodes and then watch your DVD versions of them instead?

In the meantime, have a look online for a helpline you can 'phone to get you through your painful experience...
