TV shows to be banned- on the buses, rising damp

A few films, Young Winston, Ghandi, White Christmas

any Lenny Henry character which mocked Black British culture, presumably ...

Delighted I have a good collection of these comedies on dvd

Was Philip not made to look superior to Rigsby then. What a pathetic country we live in now.

Yes, doorman99. The black man made the white man look like a complete idiot. The burning of the wardrobe episode was my favourite.

Death in Paradise ?

Thank goodness they don't know I have a DVD of The Long Good Friday.

And as for the complete box set of The Goodies.

Monty Python a shocking omission.

Love thy Neighbour (Nap)

Who exactly says they have to be banned, anyone know their names?

Or is it just the mysterious 'THEY'?

'They' are who I like to refer to as the mob of the perpetually outraged.

Reg Varney (the forumite) better watch out, he could be one of the first for the concentration camps if and when THEY get to that stage.

at least they have left til death do us part alone

White Chicks, surely cant have black people playing white folk especially women, surely that breaks 2 rules, not yet seen the powers that be have a go at this blatant racism and sexism.

yes, exactly WHO ARE THEY,someone has to sanction these things, so who are they?

They are the same "They knew" that Big Mac was always going on about...

They are the loonies on both sides of this fence.

Just like 1930s Germany, it starts with the book burning...

Brown Sugar Rolling Stones.

Spot on,Doorman 99.

The Black and White minstrel show, or at least the Black minstrels. Mind Your Language (borderline racist/definitely xenophobic)- Françoise Pascal

Jim Davidson and 'Chalky'

Just destroyed my vhs of TARZAN OF THE APES before I get my collar felt!

Mernard Banning at the Embassy club

Funny that even after he admitted to making the story up he was still hailed by some as some kind of hero

Porridge- Jim "Jock" McLaren is played by Tony Osoba. McLaren, who claims to have been adopted, is a black man from Greenock, Scotland. This led to a string of racist abuse when he first arrived at Slade Prison. Fletcher, in reference to his Scottish upbringing, frequently calls him "Jock". Upon arrival, he was an angry young man, and it was left up to Fletcher to calm him down and to curb the abuse he received. A keen football player, he was soon turning out every Saturday afternoon for the inter-wing football matches. He supports Greenock Morton.

Some episodes he looked as though he had make up on to make him look darker

they were total **** anyway, who cares ? does anybody still watch that muck ?

'THEY' will have to ban snooker. Stop the white hitting the black. ffs.

despite my age, i dont see colour. I was brought up amongst italians, maltese, irish, indians coloured south africans, english and bangladeshi. I loved them all and learned a lot from their cuisine and kindness. I grew up in the sixties and seventies (and was even young enough to enjoy the eighties), so i learned alongside so many others that humour is humour, a joke is a joke and it is no more than that. "Poking" fun is age old and does not stifle loyalties nor love. Banter is something i would not like to do without and, i think, nor would my many friends

The sequel to the film version of On the Buses was the equally mind-numbing Mutiny on the Buses. Not a shred of humour or merit in either of them.

african bloke on tele earlier,mhungi,he's starting an online tie selling company,hopes to sell millions,if it does will it make him a tycoon?

Naughty Willie....but very very funny !  It made me chuckle to myself.

Don't forget Tom and Gerry and Elmer Fudd

Will the same apply to the endless list of films where American Black actors don't have a problem calling each other "N*gger" when they are getting paid to say the word

Ffs,why not just put a warning before the programme that some sensitive souls might be offended.theres always the off button.

The Black And White Minstrel Show,in colour? My father objected to the extra cost of a Colour TV licence for repeats,carried it on for our dogs.Only Border Collies,Black Labs and Black and White Springers,the B & W licence was cheaper,my first day of freedom was a Tan and white boxer named Suzie.

Strange thing she used to leap out and grab the tails of out Fresian heffers,never thought she was racist but then never thought she would ever be considered as such,she never did this to a Jersey heffer.All these decades assuming dogs and Bulls were colour blind like myself in terms of race etc.

How wrong can one be? My dad had great BLACK friends in SA and Congo as did I all over the world.How many of these reformists ever met an African Black from Africa and how many were asked about racism? Absolutely NONE my guess,the ones I know think the comedies and show are little short of genius and an honest reflection of Social History,not demeaning,not derogatory.......if you get de meening man?

In response to a complaint that there is not enough African, caribbean or asian and eastern europeans appearing on TV, bbc television have decided that crimewatch will now be shown twice a week

Vicars and priests leif?

Cereals are now racist according to an actual MP - the one that got banged up for telling porkies about her driving offence:

I really thought this was some sort of joke when my mate sent it to me.

@Fiona_Onasanya

@KelloggsUK, as you are yet to reply to my email - Coco Pops and Rice Krispies have the same compòsition (except for the fact CP's are brown and chocolate flavoured)... so I was wondering why Rice Krispies have three white boys representing the brand and Coco Pops have a monkey?

Sorry ex MP!

More sexist I would have thought by the way they used to talk about the clippies.

None of you must be old enough to remember Love Thy Neighbor

I remember it.
