just watch the OFAH episode..."Who's a pretty Boy" can someone tell me why this was cut out? Right at the start Del walks into the Nags head and sees Ranjet, an indian, he says: " Saw your Mrs in the market, she's got a nasty spot on her forehead!" - they both burst into laughter. Whole line cut, why? This madness is destroying the classics.

TTT @18:57 \\webbo: "Todays young audience find everything offensive." - no, anal sex, blokes snogging, TG bowlockes, same sex couple that's all fine. One bit of carry on innuendo and they wet their non gender specific pants.// Exactly.

apologies, I should not have said "porn".
Probably cut because some may think it's a terrorist with a laser sight, and no one wants to give them ideas.
IAHHM is on the TV nowadays, and amusing it is too. Too many are oversensitive these days, or acting on what they insist the oversensitive must want.
TTT - // have a day off AH, //

Mr Pot, have you met Mr Kettle?

It's you who is banging on about this, not me!!

// it's almost mandatory to have blokes snogging and gay couples all over the roger but a bawdy carry on style gag is the end of the world. Every single show these days has to hammer home that same sex marriage is a thing. //

Kissing is not pornography, gay or not, so you are simple exaggerating because you are cross, but that doesn't validate your argument at all.

// But it's ok to offend certain groups isn't it? //

TV has always offended some people and not others - if you are not the group that is offended, you couldn't care less, if you are, it's a matter of making a big noise about it.

It has always been the same, and it always will be.

The world is changing, and television reflects those changes, as it always has.

I have not watched 'live' television for years, so it's impossible to offend me, because i choose what to watch, and with the endless choices, I can ewasily find things I like, and ignore things I don't.

Instead of being 'offended', why don't you choose your viewing more carefully, and avoid what is going to upset you. In this day and age it has never been easier.

There is plenty of choice for everyone - and that means everyone, so it includes you.

AH: "Onstead of being 'offended', why don't you choose your viewing more carefully, and avoid what is going to upset you. In this day and age it has never been easier." - perlease you can't avoid it. I tolerate offensive parts of shows I otherwise like. I just question why it's ok for me to be offended but even the slightest suggestion of some sort of ism means the show must be cut to ribbons.

AH: "There is plenty of choice for everyone - and that means everyone, so it includes you. " - great that works both ways stop hacking my shows to death then. The snowflakes can avoid them.
TORATORATORA, you have OFAH on DVDs. If you want to make sure you see the originals, watch the DVDs instead.
Exactly.

Broadcasters can't please everyone, but judicial editing of unimportant dialogue in order to save the offence of viewers is hardly an attack in free speech is it.

You have the unedited shows, so why not take a break and go and watch a few.

Some laughs might reduce your blood pressure.

AH; "Broadcasters can't please everyone, but judicial editing of unimportant dialogue in order to save the offence of viewers is hardly an attack in free speech is it. " - ok chop out the men snogging too then.
Question Author
AH: "You have the unedited shows, so why not take a break and go and watch a few. " - yes I can watch the DVDs but I consider my self as a curator of the classics, I want the people to still have them unmolested. Should the louvre stick tape over the enigmatic smile when that offends some group or other?
If you want to elevate yourself to 'curator of the classics' you are doomed to be forever going around in this pointless circle.

I'm sure you'll understand if I decline to join you, life's too short and I have to prepare for an interview I'm conducting tomorrow.

Sleep well, it's only television...
I find the majority of modern comedies and comedians excruciatingly unfunny. Could we get them banned please as I am offended by their crudeness and lack of talent?
Rosetta - In exactly the same way Tora can't tilt the world's axis to fir with his 'custodial position' by the same measure, we can't 'cancel' people because you don't find them funny.

What will happen, as always, that those the majority of modern
comedy audiences agree are not funny, will cease to have a career.

The majority wins out, it always has, it always will.
I don't like seeing two blokes kissing on dramas on tv, it makes me cringe, it seems unnatural somehow.
Ah, I see a bunch of white people have been judging what is racist to BAME people again. Fairly standard.
//but I consider my self as a curator of the classics,//

Well done TTT

//The majority wins out, it always has, it always will. //

I can only hope the majority will win out because from what I'm seeing right now, the minority is, without doubt, pulling all the strings and demanding that the rest of us dance to their miserable tune - and we, like fools, are obliging, albeit increasingly under duress.

This from TV critic, Ally Ross, makes interesting reading.

‘ the minority is, without doubt, pulling all the strings and demanding that the rest of us dance to their miserable tune’

As a mod on here, Naomi, I’ve witnessed you asking members to refer to Trans people by their preferred pronoun. Isn’t this exactly the same thing?
// I’ve witnessed you asking members to refer to Trans people by their preferred pronoun. //

You haven't.
As mentioned earlier, it seems that people today think they have the right to be insulted.
