Thankfully I never watched Little Britain. I saw one clip of it that I think was voted the funniest moment ever or something ridiculous like that, and it was mildly amusing at best.

Now Fawlty Towers on the other hand...

And that is still on Netflix. If you've never seen it, watch it while you can

Yes, most surprising is how many people are offended by having statues of people they’ve never even heard off torn down.

It's a real shame Stretty isn't around as I would really have loved his opinion on this and Covid.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought it’s agreed that Jim Lahey is Stretty?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think it is. Stretty came back as R9 and never really disguised himself, saying "chief" and using the thumb emoticon etc. I think Jim Lahey may even have been around then as well.

I'd be pretty offended if I found out that Germans had a sense of humour after all and have been keeping it from us.

To be fair, I’d imagine a lot of Germans would find it funny. I’ve met a few around the world in my time, and they are good folks to have around, and don’t mind taking the piiiss out of themselves.. Even on touchy subjects.

Is a racist character in a comedy/drama ok ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It has to be doesn’t it?

Not in all contexts of course, but are we really saying that production of TV and film can only be based on flawless characters?

Are people not capable of understanding context anymore?

Not only that, but the Germans actually come off best in that episode - even though they're mercilessly taunted by Basil. They're presented as intelligent and cultured, whereas Basil and the Major are the fools, the half-wits, to be wondered at and pitied.

I work for a German company. Most are ok, but like us English, you get the odd one!

In the same episode Basil looks aghast at a doctor being a black man.

Yes, as the Major is telling off the naughty moose, one of the Germans says, "How ever did they win?"

The Germans probably love Fawlty Towers.

Spaniards, on the other hand...
