to think Little Britain wouldn't be allowed today

[Tobythecat]

Just came across some old Little Britain clips on Youtube. I'm really shocked! The amount of racism, disablist and sexist stuff. It was only back in 2007 I think that the filming ended so it wasn't that long ago at all! There is no way this would be allowed on tv now, surely?!

*Brexit so

When are MN bringing in that edit feature?!

I remember Watching, Dobby - another brilliant series. Laugh out loud funny.

Andwhat about Second Thoughts? And Chance in aMillion?

And of course - Keeping up Appearances

Forces TV has been my main channel since February. They reran The Equalizer from March to August. Love that Watched as a teen too when it was originally on ITV. Now its Quantum Leap.

Shelley WAS fab. I HAVE to get it on DVD.

Second Thoughts Yes James Bolam and Linda Bellingham

Shelley WAS fab. I HAVE to get it on DVD.

Great minds! I might ask for it for my birthday.

Hell's Bells - there were so many good comedy shows - and all they repeat is the rubbish ones.

Ooh! Oooh!

Rising Damp!

I loved Rising Damp!

@HeadLikeAFuckinOrange, my favourite ever, but no, you'd never get away with it now. Norks, jugs and smashing blouses. Ahhh i can quote it all day long 🤣

My kids are addicted to ‘Allo ‘Allo and Blackadder and quote from them endlessly.

Oh come on! JUST CALL ME BUBBLES DAAAAHHHHHHLINGGGGGG

That was hilarious - not bc it’s a joke at her size but bc she was a cheeky fucker, as MN would say

CHAMPAGNE FOR EVERYONEEEEE

11pm on Forces TV They are now on the final series of Shelley Freeview 96 Freesat 165 Unfortunately not everyone can get it through Freeview its luck of the draw.

One Foot in the Grave - don't know what I didn't think of this one sooner - we have it on DVD and it's STILL hilarious!

Its stil show on Gold sometimes-i love it yes they went far that was the point though

I couldn't stand Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps or Men Behaving Badly. The very worst of the 90s.

The Fast Show was brilliant though, as was (and still is) anything Vic & Bob did.

I loved Brush Strokes during the late 80's and picked up a dvd copy from my local library a couple of years ago to watch for a bit of cosy nostalgia. I wouldn't recommend it though: it has dated terribly. The thing that struck me the most, was the appalling sexism throughout, which i believe was a reflection of broader society at the time, rather than any particular incident in the script.

I think it's still bloody funny

That's what I was worried about NightLion

What was that one with Wolfie Smith?

Oh - Citizen Smith

The only things that can be laughed at anymore in the UK is having sex and getting drunk. The UK used to have the best comedy, now you're all scared shitless about offending yourselves.

We laugh at the inappropriate - that's what makes it so funny.

I just read that a ban on eating dogs and cats has been blocked in UK because It might offend people. Is this true????!!!!!!!!

And Porridge.

The original

I didn’t find it funny at the time either, but this bit still is.....

I never thought it was funny. Blackadder, OTOH ... I love that.

Not that I know of Tumbleweed

Back on comedies - Ever Decreasing Circles, anyone?

@FenellaMaxwell YES! That's the one I said about.

Brilliant.

And I'm no skinnymalinks before anyone tells me off for laughing at fat people. I could do with a bit of dust myself.

It wasn't ever funny.

Everyone at the time was a surprised it was allowed. There is an adult American cartoon on TV all the time and it is really really bad. It even makes jokes about paedophilia
