Saint 76er Posted 14 November, 2015 Author Share Posted 14 November, 2015 Show would probably be banned now anyway. Made me laugh back in the day. These days even our own Benny Hill would probably be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 14 November, 2015 Share Posted 14 November, 2015 Show would probably be banned now anyway. I'm sure you're right, along with the Major in Fawlty Towers. Surely the point of such characters is to be able to bring their attitudes into the open and demonstrate how out of date they are? Warren was a great character actor who made his parts his own. May he Rest In Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Saint Posted 15 November, 2015 Share Posted 15 November, 2015 Even then the show was a satirical comedy about the small mindedness regarding race during those times - I nicked this from the BBC obitury He recalled an exchange with a fellow Tottenham fan who had come up to congratulate him on "having a go" at immigrants. "Actually," Mitchell tersely replied, "we're having a go at idiots like you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 15 November, 2015 Share Posted 15 November, 2015 Sadly the people and attitudes that the show targeted often missed the point. Excellent actor. RIP "Alf." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
