"I've recently re-watched some old Harry Enfield shows from the mid-late 90s and there was a lot in them that wouldn't be acceptable now Please share what offended you ?" I didn't say it offended me personally, I'm adult enough to be able to distinguish between what may have been acceptable at one time that is not generally considered acceptable now and hold my own counsel as to whether I find it funny or not - some of it just wasn't funny at all, not necessarily because of acceptability but because it plain wasn't funny for whatever reason. Many of the programmes listed on this thread would be the same - acceptability is as much about the person viewing it as it is the content of the programme - some programmes are seen with a nostalgic air and almost funny in a different way than they were originally conceived - as a good example caught the end of one of the On The Buses films last weekend that was funny because of the ridiculousness of two middle aged "lotharios" in Stan and Jack chasing "dolly birds" in an almost seaside saucy postcard way. Programmes like Mind Your Language or Love Thy Neighbour which played on every stereotype going and highlighted them to the extreme just aren't funny in any way. | |||

"Alf Garnett was written by Johnny Speight, he wrote the character to be disliked and that his attitude and views were old fashioned and wrong. He even made him a Tory and was happy he was played by a Jewish actor. Admittedly it was lost on some of the audience that agreed with Alf’s views, but not the majority who saw the clever writing and the way Alf Garnett was always brought to task over his prejudices. If anything this is one of the programmes I’d be happy to bring back. As I think a modern audience would get the joke and see Alf as the character Johnny wrote, totally wrong in his views and as an idiot. " | |||

"A fair bit of the two Ronnie's stuff. Used black face a fair bit. However a lot of the younger people saying that certain shows should never be brought back forget at the time most of these shows where"of the time" it doesn't excuse racist and homophobic stuff but certainly was seen as accepted then. For example Some mothers do have em. Clearly laugh's at the expense of someone who today would definitely be seen as vulnerable,yet at the time was one of the biggest shows around. Funny? No I hated it, popular yes. Would it be made today NO. There was a massive change in direction of humour in the early 80's with the alternative comedy springing up. Not the nine o'clock news, Friday night live, the young ones, Ben Elton and the like changed the face of comedy taking it away from the oooerr Mrs, let's all have a joke at the " darkie" and "poofs" stuff that was rife and pretty much all that there was. To politics and anarchical stuff. Relevant at the time. "Loads of Money" But think recently how many shows have been made that have been extremely popular and not PC. Inbetweeners, Derek and so on. I'm glad alot of these shows have been put away in storage and hopefully will never see the light of day again, but they shouldn't be forgotten as we must learn from them. Sadly I do think the pendulum is swinging too far in the other direction now with comedy becoming sterile and too PC. Too many shows are being produced now just to tick a box. Intelligent,edgy, please Crass and insensitive no thanks." Fair comment and this is why people rejected the Labour party and what it stands for today.... | |||

"I haven’t watched an episode of love thy neighbour for quite some time but I do recall both of the wife’s come out of it as being reasonable and the men as bad as each other. So in some cases just like the women in Sickness and Health as his Daughter was a progressive thinker, these programmes actually show women in a good light as well. So they’re not all bad. I suppose these programmes should be seen for what they are, a reflection of how people thought and were open about their prejudices at the time. Just because we find especially the language distasteful they also show how far we have come as a society that we no longer think those ideas or beliefs are acceptable anymore. | |||
