"You silly old moo". Till Death Us Do Part being shown again.

The problem with showing this again is that the professionally offended will be eagerly awaiting it as an opportunity to be offended on twitter. Cue polarised 'debate', general mudslinging and everyone being characterised as either racist or woke snowflakes - rinse and repeat until the next outrage pops up. Boring really.
 
I honestly don't think much has survived from 60s and 70s series in general. Certainly not comedy, or would-be comedy. Not that I think current comedy is necessarily all that much to write home about.
Slightly more surprisingly: recently seen a couple of films from the 60s which I very much wanted to see at the time but wasn't able to, for one reason or another (probably too young, actually). Films that were highly acclaimed. And I found them weak in all sorts of ways.
 
Tony Blair's father in law as the "scouse git" in "Til Death..."


And remember the black home help? Alf was not a happy bunny. It was hilarious, and brilliantly scripted, showing Alf up as the bigoted fool he was. There's no way you could make it these days, though. Society's attitudes to that type of humour has totally changed.
He called him Marigold, as camp as Butlins
 
Will never forget the episode where he borrows a wheelchair to watch West Ham, they score and he jumps up, me and my dad piss ourselves at it, I keep telling him to get one for City.
Isn’t there real film of a Liverpool wheelchair supporter doing this?
