Fawlty Towers. Basil comparing Manuel to an ape, the "O'Reilly" episode.

Don't mention the war.

She's gone from UK tv. One episode anyway.

For the last f**king 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

John Cleese is not happy,

John Cleese has railed at the decision of BBC-owned streamer UKTV to remove the famous The Germans episode of Fawlty Towers from its platform, labelling people who failed to see it as a critique of racist attitudes rather than an endorsement of them as "stupid".

"One of the things I've learned in the last 180 years is that people have very different senses of humour,"  "Some of them understand that if you put nonsense words into the mouth of someone you want to make fun of you're not broadcasting their views, you're making fun of them."

"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?

To a degree, he added, it was possible that the focus on Fawlty Towers and other "problematic" cultural content gave media an easy way out by allowing them to avoid engaging with the more substantial aims of the (BLM) movement.
