Agatha Christie's A mysterious Affair at Styles needs taking off the bookshelves.

One of the characters went to fancy dress evening dressed as an N word but Ms. Christie used the word that cannot be uttered. Was shocking to see it written in an innocent whodunnit.

Anyone remember 'Mind Your Language' TV show mid seventies to mid eighties.
A language teacher, Who teaches English to a class load of foreign students all of different nationalities.
Always loads of arguments, name calling and every nationality was very stereotypical

What is your name?

I am Brown.

Hilarity ensued.

David Brent aside, I don't understand his long term appeal, particularly since Sarah Vine declared him The Wokefinder General and it went to his head. Conversely, I'm not a fan of James Corden but can't really see why, to some people, he's far more irritating than Gervais. Corden doesn't take himself as seriously as Gervais and is a much, much better comic actor, when it comes to the fatty parts.

He's weird Gervais. Goes on about bleating slebs but his YouTube stream and twitter is full of him repeating praise for his show and going to town on reviewers that didn't like it! They 'just don't get it' apparently. :lol: This doesn't fit with his "I don't care me" persona at all.
Also, he does his YouTube sitting in front of all his baftas and other awards...I mean that HAS to be deliberate?
he's happy to get retweeted off cowardly animal killer Don Trump Jr too (for 'owning the libs') and yet is avowedly 'pro-animal'.

One TV channel has taken it off its streaming service for a few months. So - as I said - it hasn't gone anywhere really. I watched it in January for the first time...on dvd. Cost me £1 at cex.
People are acting like it's been banned :lol:

Her novel 'Ten Little Indians' had a *cough* slightly different original title.

The black character always won though and showed the white character up to be a dick! I think you missed the point of that AND Alf Garnett to be honest.

What about curry and chips...... written by Johnny speight ....Google first episode on u tube and watch it.....things have moved on from then thank fek.......that's the thing though it's a thing of its times ...and if we banned it we lose our history and only an idiot fails to learn from history.......I also note nobody is racing to pull down the many statue's of queen victoria as head of state at the time of GB pillaging empire days......as it was all done in her name!
 
Morecambe and Wise, Hale and Pace, The two Ronnie's and Alas Smith and Jones I'd say were better than Lucas and Williams Little Britain.

Both shows were holding up a mirror to bigotry. However, I think most bigots are so thick that they could never actually see this and instead saw the on-screen bigots as heroes.

Here lies the problem.
Context.


Context just doesn't matter anymore - legally. A precedent was set in court recently that context doesn't matter, and that if you can misunderstand context and be offended, then that's a crime. Its disgusting

Doubt it, discreetly drop it from streaming services, don’t bother doing anymore dvds of it and it’ll slip into the mists of time.
There’s a fair chance of losing hundreds of films if every little thing is flagged up, whether it be bame, sexist, xenophobic or any other variation of folks being offended by past times or subject matter
 
'Gone with the wind' has gone with the wind 🤷‍♂️
www.theguardian.com

Gone With the Wind dropped from HBO Max over depiction of slavery

Temporary move followed call by 12 Years a Slave scriptwriter John Ridley for streaming services to review content that is ‘blatant in its demonisation’ of race
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com
[/QUOTE]

If we just get rid of all the evidence of slavery does that mean it never existed?
It doesn't seem to be about causing offence, it's seems more like trying to delete history.

Why not keep stuff for people to watch and any money earned from it going towards bringing unity to people rather than seemingly putting up greater divisions.
