Really strange decision when older work is censored. Essentially saying we do not trust an audience to have the intelligence to judge for themselves.

It’s also drawing attention to the fact they did blackface which most won’t have realised.Anyone who only criticised David Baddiel for this will be feeling awks now.

If you attach stigma to satirising bad things and dodgy thought processes then it absolutely isn’t the win that some seem to think it is

Not that strange though, the iplayer viewing public in watch Mrs Brown's Boys in large numbers, so I wouldn't trust them to have intelligence either

No its because people went woke and stupid. And there is a minority of idiots that will complain.

They’re probably right on the latter point. A few weeks ago on here there was a clip of Gen Zs reacting to the racist woman from Little Britain. Despite the sketch mocking the racist, these university students thought it was mocking the Indian woman (who is smart & savvy).

The sort of people who make these decisions are also the type that are currently haranguing Ed Sheeran about his choice of words.

No one asked for this. No one who cares about real issues cares. It’s a distraction tactic to make those people look ridiculous.

They were actually satirising racism. That’s the absurdity. Audiences being treated like imbeciles.

You get the impression that anyone watching it will have been deliberately looking for it. Unless it's by request of the actor creators then it just seems silly.

You met people right? We don't trust them without labels on bleach

Having seen you people judging little Britain, they don't have the intelligence. Sorry but this will be repeated because the audience is more retarded.

Is there a job just watching old shows to remove stuff, if so many people would jump at the chance

The BBC has to protect itself. Don't blame the beeb for this.
