A bunch of shit that don't stand up on closer inspection with two exceptions:

1/ Knightmare (old-skool blue-screen adventure game show, Knightmare involves a team of four children)

2/ Odysseus - The Greatest Hero of Them All & The Journey Through Hell (Tony Robinson narrating the story of Iliad & Odyssey straight to camera, half-acting, half-story telling)

Those 'old days' seemed so long ago now.

Programme makers didn't give a toss about sexism or racism or H&S or minorities etc.

Like TDUDP, Love thy Neighbour, Rising damp, Mind your Language, Benny Hill.

I think the first 3 of that list at least, were attempts to highlight racial, political and societal bigotry by using humour to lampoon stereotypical caricatures.

I think they worked pretty well and were often very funny.

But it wouldn't be allowed in today's PC hidebound times
