The Destruction Of T V By T R O B......

[ToraToraTora]

just watch the OFAH episode..."Who's a pretty Boy" can someone tell me why this was cut out? Right at the start Del walks into the Nags head and sees Ranjet, an indian, he says: " Saw your Mrs in the market, she's got a nasty spot on her forehead!" - they both burst into laughter. Whole line cut, why? This madness is destroying the classics.

There would be in my house.

[vulcan42]

It used to be if you didn't find a joke funny you didn't laugh. Nowadays they want it banned.

sandy, oh yes, in fact I did borrow a box set of IAHHM off a mate recently, heaven lovely boy!

[Peter Pedant]

Miss, can you make him write in English
TTT is I think a bit like LandF - but not the same person I stress

[sandyRoe]

TTT,
Are you not offended by the caricatures of the natives?

[ToraToraTora]

Sandy...no more than I am offended by theirs of me. Why would I be? This snowflake cobras has gone too far. It's usually the Trobiscites taking offence on behalf of someone else anyway.

[Togo]

Funnily enough, there have not been any "alterations" to Citizen Khan in case they offend our now acutely sensitive offense spotters ... or so I am led to believe.

[andy-hughes]

IAAHM has just been re-run on one of the minor channels, I watched and enjoyed all of them.

If I was in my twenties, I might find them shocking, and maybe offensive, but I'm not, so I didn't.

I can only repeat my earlier point, times change, and we don't get to stop that process, nor should we.

[Togo]

//Are you not offended by the caricatures of the natives?//

As far as I am aware not even "the natives"( is that offensive?) were offended. Of course after being encouraged to do so they may be "hurt" and affected. Sounds all very sectarian to me.

[ToraToraTora]

fine AH let the saucepans watch their sheet and leave mine alone.

[ToraToraTora]

what i find shocking these days no one cares about so why must i consider what the kids feel?

[Barsel]

John Sullivan will be spinning in his grave.

TTT - // what i find shocking these days no one cares about so why must i consider what the kids feel? //

Remember how, when you were growing up, your dad used to yell at the TV and shout that it was all for 'young folks' these days, and you used to sigh and tell yourself that when you were his age, you'd never do the same thing?

Well guess what ...

[ToraToraTora]

No I don't AH. What I do know is that carry on jokes are banned and gay porn is everywhere. What I find offensive is on every 5 minutes yet I must not be offended lest I get punished by the new fascists.

[Hopkirk]

Here you go TTT, this is the Fawlty Towers scene.

Do you agree with it being cut now? I certainly do.

[ToraToraTora]

no it should not be cut, put up a warning at the start.

[Barsel]

As a young girl watching TV with my Mum and Dad, if anything untoward came on, my dad would just get up and turn it off.

[ToraToraTora]

ok this is an excerpt from the script for OFAH, "In sickness and in wealth" - always cut these days, vub they show gays having sex etc all the time on TV these days often before the watershed, yet a comedic exchange is somehow more offensive? Perlease!

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?

I always used to wonder what days and times Mary Whitehouse watched TV, because I could never find the 'tide of filth' she used to rant about.

So please, enlighten me - when and where is the 'everywhere' that gay porn is being broadvast?

[ToraToraTora]

have a day off AH, it's almost mandatory to have blokes snogging and gay couples all over the roger but a bawdy carry on style gag is the end of the world. Every single show these days has to hammer home that same sex marriage is a thing. But it's ok to offend certain groups isn't it?
