This one seems dumb. The joke was how bigoted and awful Basil Fawlty was as a character, to a nice German family. Small-minded English people were the target of the joke, not people from Germany.

Even if - it’s totally fine to make fun of us. It’s a classic in Germany too.

I'm a 'leftie' and half-German, but I disagree with making the episode unavailable. Fawlty Towers was a satire of prejudiced attitudes, not an endorsement.

People don’t understand that the humour of the 60s and 70s was fundamental in changing prejudiced attitudes from earlier years. When we laughed, we were laughing at our own inherited prejudices and thus exorcising them.

He was, but it’s a double edged sword. Yes, his ignorance and lack of empathy (albeit under the influence of concussion) is part of the joke, but the outrageous goose stepping is the big part where everybody laughs. Are we laughing at the character or the impression? I say both.

just thought I read the most ludicrous story today (Lady Antebellum ffs) that beat the previous ludicrous story
but this has just beat it, they;re after Gavin and Stacey as well so every cloud I suppose

This was the same episode in which the Major talked about w*gs and n*****s.
They should remove them all. That little fella Spanishing up is so racist.
brilliant ! I'm amazed its taken them so long to get round to taking offence
"The Germans" is one of my fav episodes, from the greatest sitcom of all time
I thought the funniest part of that episode was the Fire Alarm scene. I really felt his pain.
"Well it is now but that's because we've been standing around talking about it for five minutes!"
now now lads silence is violence if you are not out protesting you are raycist! stands to reason !
It's not clear why it's been removed.
As I said earlier, I suspect it's the Major's cricket story.

I'm devastated - that was my favourite episode along with Waldorf Salad
Was watching the Three Amigos at the weekend and even that had had a scene cut - I really love the 3 amigos and had no idea I had been enjoying such pure unadulterated filth for all these years
Not really sure where we go from here - Hitler was a bad man so I guess we re-write world war 2 history books to show him feeding the pigeons by the Brandenburg gate

League Of Gentleman barely has any of what you could call "racial" stuff in it as well ffs
I mean the main characters are Pauline the dole start up lady, a weirdo couple who own a "local shop", a taxi driver who's having gender reassignment through out the first series, I can't remember anything you'd remotely call "racism" in it
Unless its a predominantly white village ? ffs
If so its racist to have all white towns and villages then

I'm suddenly feeling really cool for still having literal box sets of Fawlty Towers and Monty Python on DVD (because Python will surely be gone by the weekend).
The argument for DVDs over online streaming has suddenly become like the argument for storing physical gold - if you don't hold it, you don't own it.

I've just realized I also have a box set of League of Gentlemen on DVD which my mate gave me as a birthday present years ago. The bits I'd seen on the telly never looked very funny, so I've never even opened it, never mind watched it.
I think I will now.
I think I will now.
I've got the league of gentleman and come fly with me on DVD but there in the old food pantry , not had them out in years
I've got loads and loads of boxsets in that pantry as well, probably got Little Britain and all the others, I vaguely remember buying league of gentleman and going nuts and getting a lot of other older comedy shows as well

Got all the older Doctor Who sets along with Eccleston, Tennants and Smiths as well
No doubt their going as well
I never thought I'd ever have those DVDs out again
Foinavon its easy they need removing from their positions of power and all the colleges and unis need to be closed until they've had a cleaning out as well, some of the scum you've got teaching in those places would make your eyes water
Primary Schools need to be looked into as well

Easier said than done, we need a government prepared to do it, this one won't.
Old war movies like K19 and U-571 will be going as well I would imagine, all white casts aren't allowed
Excellent point about physical books.
Don't even think of giving them away to charity shops any more.

Anything produced in the last 5 years by them is riddled with their agenda, they literally ram it down your throat.
From the "progressive" storylines, to the woke-infested dialogue and check-box characters.

I was talking about the one's who said it was when it first came out
I've watched nothing on there for yonks and you can be sure everything half decent will go
Only Fools And Horses as well?

I can't see Porridge surviving Lukewarm's character either. The big laugh his letter to "My darling Trevor" got will see to that.

I'm sure it was very different when it first started (Netflix), I can't remember what year it was, but it all changed about 4 or 5 years ago.
There are still a lot of good older productions (TV and movies) on there, but you can bet they're getting scrutinised now, more will be binned, scenes will be cut, whole episodes vaporised.
Only Fools was one of the early casualties I think. 2 or 3 years ago, they cut scenes out of at least one episode.

Lets see how PC they are when hardly anyone is paying the license fee plus the woke shoite they are pushing left right and centre starts to hit the viewing fugures and the advertisers start to turn off the revenue stream.

Removing these things from Netflix should see socially distanced queues outside hmv next week as folk but dvds using contactless cards.

The difference between The comedies of old like Fawlty towers, Rising Damp, Little Britain, In sickness and in Health,etc etc,
and the newer PC left wing alternative comedies, is simple, They were very funny with massive viewing figures and todays are Not funny.
For the last fecking time:
1) It’s not because of the war
2) It’s about repeated use of the N word
3) BBC edited the offending scene in 2013
4) Cleese fully approved of it
5) Netflix & UKTV were airing unedited version
6) Edited version will likely be used in future
From twitter, probably won't help, but they want to complain,

no what about,what if,blah,blah

The thing about these shows,fawlty towers,till death us do part & even love thy neighbour was that the racist/bigot always came off the loser second best.cant these people see that they shouldn’t take them at face value.we re laughing at the bigot not with them.
Some people didn't realise that on this forum last week
Amazing innit,
It still causes the racists words to be used against people
as catch phrases, so ridicule of racists somewhat failed as
they simply were not bright enough to get the ridicule.
(might just be Russian bots on here though)

Doesn't negate the intent of the sitcoms though.
If anyone can watch Love Thy Neighbour and want to be humiliated the way Jack Smethurst's character was each week, then they're beyond help anyway. Ditto anyone who watches Major Gowen in Fawlty Towers and decides that that is how they themselves would like to be perceived.

What about Rudolph Walker calling Eddie, '' White Honky'' every time he saw him.?
Is that offensive to white people.?
i certainly wasn't offended.
The real genius of Love Thy Neighbour was that Jack Smethurst's thick bigot was a diehard Labour trade union activist, while Rudolph Walker's black character was a Conservative voter who wanted to get on in life.
Oh I agree on the intent, just that it didn't work on some

I didn't make my point well, dambuster. None of those old sitcoms promoted bigotry or racist insults, whoever they were coming from. Randolph Walker's character got his come-uppance from his wife just as much as Jack Smethurst's character did. The long-suffering women just made both the menfolk look stupid.
I was objecting to you-have-to-laugh's contention that just because some people still use those insults, then those sitcoms must have been failures. My contention was that anyone who watched them and saw the way Eddie Booth and Bill Reynolds behaved and got henpecked for it, was simply beyond help anyway.

The demise in BBC comedy has been catastrophic in the last few years as I've been boring people for years on this very forum :)
It's all woke bullshit with the BBC agenda. Drama, documentaries, news, all riddled.
There is no BBC comedy I can think of in recent years that I'd want to watch or could name as something I thought funny, not so many years ago there was loads.
The BBC just needs put down IMHO. Boyle, Hislop and Kumar can do Guardian christmas lunches.

Responding to the deletion of the “Germans” episode of Fawlty Towers from BBC-owned streamer UKTV, Cleese says:
“The Major was an old fossil left over from decades before. We were not supporting his views, we were making fun of them. If they can’t see that, if people are too stupid to see that, what can one say?”
“The Major was an old fossil left over from decades before. We were not supporting his views, we were making fun of them. If they can’t see that, if people are too stupid to see that, what can one say?”
I totally agree that these left wing apologist are thick, just look at the Banksy mural removed by Tendring council in 2014,
it was an exotic looking bird sitting next to pigeons who held up placards saying things like 'Go back home' and Go back to Africa'.
He was mocking UKIP winning the local elections, but council cheifs panicked in case it offended anyone,
they received 400 complaints for removing it, and 1 person supported them.
Once they found it was Banksy, they asked him back again, when they knew it would be worth a fortune to them.
He never returned as far as i know.

Just watched Love they neighbor for the first time ever .... can't see how it paints blacks in a bad picture from the episode i saw (apart from the loud music party next door maybe )
white bloke portrayed as a complete moron ,as he was .
black guy next door seems a good egg and seems well liked .
other then the use of certain racist words repeated far too often I think it was OK ,one or two funny gags

cleese may well have said that but like most of us cleese probably didn't think the major would be more main strain today than he was the,if that was on today who do you think the brexiteers,right ukip some in tory party would be laughing with or laughing at,

They saw that blacks and whites were getting on to a small degree and that's not acceptable, a united working class are frowned upon by the ruling elites
They keep saying "unite" but they don't mean it, they want divide and chaos

seems to be that way today too sonts ...liberal middle classes trying to cause a drift ...i can clearly see that .
They have nothing in coming with the blacks ...they live in exclusively white areas ,private or grammar schools , professional employment ...they probably never encounter blacks in real life

As a BBC head of Comedy said a while back, they wouldn't commission Monty Python now as they were ‘six Oxbridge white blokes’.
Nothing to do with their comedy or what the license fee payer would enjoy.

this is it ,you either like someone or you don't ...no one gives a flying fook about colour .
I've known a few blacks who i didn't get on with ,but i've tended not to make friends with them ...simples
the majority have been good sorts though .
first impressions on the other hand are just second nature with people ...when i see a black man in an expensive car i always think ...yep,drug dealer

if scousers were purple or turqiose i'm sure they would get stopped more too

trying to keep up since lockdown, but at present people want
to boycott Weatherspoon pubs because of martin telling his staff to fooook off,

bbc comedy last night, just turning channels around 10.15,, group around the table, farting loud , and loads of swearing was their humour,
John Cleese hits back at BBC and nails it in this statement
"So BBC decisions are made by persons whose main concern is not losing their jobs... That's why they're so cowardly and gutless and contemptible. I rest my case."
bingo, thats it in a nutshell.

I don't think anyone at the BBC is ever concerned about losing their jobs. It's about signalling their uncompromising virtue to their social circle.
yes, but a lot of the signalling is driven by fear, peer pressure taken to an extreme level - fear of losing their jobs if they step out of line.

If they were genuinely sorry, they'd give up every penny of the money they made from it and send it to African charities. Water Aid, for instance.
And I mean every penny, including profits from investments.

I remember noticing missing scenes and episodes of star trek as early as 1978 on the bbc. They did not show the episode with torture , i thot id seen sll the episodes several times, suddenly an extra x rated startrek episode ecisted. Bbc excluded it. In one episode elana of troy? Capt kirk is pulling on his boots. He obviously just shagged the black girl star, elana. But this scene was cut by the bbc. No sex please we're british. The amount of deliberate alterations to films to please cendors in the seventies and eighties was extreme. You firkin bastich knute. Johnny
