That was from the good old days when you could put on a program and not offend the eternally offended. Now, you, Pacifico, etc., have become the 'eternally offended'. I find that quite offensive tbh. |

Til death do us part is an example of how much the BBC has fallen into the woke hole.
First aired in 1965 it was a breakthrough in political commentary wrapped up in comedy .
The whole narrative was about a white Jewish bigot and his deluded world view ….it was laughing at bigotry ..
The lefties of the day got the wrong end of the stick ( as usual re Benny Hill. Love thy neighbour ,mind your language etc) and whined about the ‘ politically incorrect ‘ content . That wasn’t enough to cancel it though .
It isn’t available from BBC I player. They seem to be ashamed of one of their greatest creations .
How the mighty have fallen .

MANY TV programmes, including SitComs would not be appropriate, or allowed today, and it has nothing to do with the BBC, it is because of vastly changed attitudes and society.
The 1960s / 1970s versions of "Till Death Do Us Part" are not deemed appropriate today, same as for example "Love Thy Neighbour" on ITV.
Alf Garnett was not a Jew ( the actor was ), Alf was fiercely Church of England

That was the whole point . As for not appropriate . Who are you to tell us what is not appropriate? Regarding Love thy neighbour . The narrative was about another delusional white man with a plain wife competing with a black man who was clearly superior and had a beautiful wife . You really have no idea , have you? |

Yep - another reason to scrap the Licence Tax.. PATHETIC - the only way to describe your post Everyone has views and opinions on many things, and just because one man who works for the BBC has opinions which contradicts your opinions, you feel that the licence fee should be scrapped and the BBC defunded. Utterly pathetic Actually he is the finest reason to do just that Let the BBC DG go begging in the gutters for the pennies to fund the lefty gobshite. Do i need to remind you the day he refused to appear on MOTD the viewing figures shot up |

You don't have to try and sell it, Sid. It gets money no matter what it does even when its highest paid Lefty, who sympathises more with Hamas terrorists that the victims of terrorism, is mouthing off to appease the far-left at every opportunity. Lineker wouldn't get a contract outside of the BBC. Another utterly pathetic post You have no evidence that Gary Linekar sympathises with Hamas - and that is because he does not sympathise with Hamas, the BBC is not Gary Linekar, he is only one person. Linekar has absolutely nothing to worry about, he WOULD get offers of jobs if the BBC ended his contract or sacked him. then let him start putting his CV out I don’t object to him shooting his lefty gob off I object to being forced to pay him to do it I think in the interests of balance they should pay me to commentate on welsh rugby and give insights to balance out his. But that would be against the BBC rules woukdn’t it. |

You really have no idea , have you? actually the black make character in Love Thy Neighbour was s white hating scheming bigot. Watch the pilot episode on youtube to see what i mean. The show featured two male lead characters that were as bad as each other and the wives knew it (and tried unsuccessfully to rein each husband in). Ir did you miss that ?? |

As I remember it the black male reacted badly to the white male , not all whites . He called the bigot a honky not the others . In fact he became quite friendly with everyone else but the white bigot iirc. |

Seems to me that the UK is lucky it’s not a totalitarian state and has actors, artists, politicians, sports people, etc, able to attract audiences for their opinions without state execution or imprisonment — although, admittedly, they can face dangers from extremists across the political spectrum.
It’s mainly up to their audiences to judge their worth, decide whether they agree or disagree, and show their support or disapproval at the ballot box, by boycott, by demonstration, etc…
