Do you long for the days of throwing derogatory racist terms around Willy nilly with not an eye brow raised?
I watched it when I was a youngster and i used to work with a black lad at the time we both thought it was funny, he used to call me a white honky and there was no offence meant or taken. I do not in any way shape or form condone all this racist shite that happens nowadays...so please dont cast any of that fucking shite my way

But you get your knickers in a twist when Mackems post stuff about Jimmy, I'm sure they're just having a laugh.

I'm really surprised at you defending it to be honest

Having a laugh in private with mates of a different race is totally different to saying things in public.

I've always been of the opinion that, Just like Alf Garnett the racist is made to look stupid so I can see the merit in your argument, but I'm not sure it has any place in this day and age.

You inferred I was a snowflake for saying it was about as funny as Coronavirus.
I never even mentioned it’s racial agenda.
Just that it wasn’t funny.

Is there any old stuff you can just watch again and again and still find it enjoyable and entertaining to this very day?

Always find I can enjoy the old Colombo episodes. Just something about them that perpetuates my enjoyment.

Love the old dads army stuff - they seem to have made many more episodes than I have seen before - quality writing and acting

When the boat comes in was compulsive viewing for me as a youngster, who will have a fishy, on a little dishy, who will have a fishy, when the boat comes in.
Remember this when I was very young ‘but watched it properly when it repeated
When I was in my 20s I think.
Great series.

I wonder what Til Death us do Part would look like these days.

I know Speight was trying to ridicule the racist and paint him as a fool, but it would surely make incredibly uncomfortable viewing in the modern era now.

Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) is proof that you should repeat tv shows and NEVER REDO them....
One of the great TV disappointments.

Likewise, Porridge. WTF??? Clement and Le Frenias wrote it but, maybe it was the casting. Didn't raise one titter.

To be fair, I quite enjoyed the 3 "missing" episodes of Dads Army that were remade.
