Im In the South Gloucestershire area, which was once Avon in ways I agree

Sorry to have to say it, but Gloucester is a dump.

Even Walter can’t keep a straight face selling the bacon scent, can he? OH YES HE CAN... “One of the great perfume houses of the world,” Walter says… What he really means is it is stock from a now defunct company they bought a ridiculously named cheap fragrance from for peanuts, and are now desperate to shift the rest of it still hanging around like a bad congealing streaky bacon pan…The Black Head…The Black Mucus..The Black Pudding…The Black Mood...IT’S A MISTAKE…BUT WE ARE HONOURING IT, he says…They wouldn’t know honour if it fell on them. Cue the hacking cough after too much BS out of his gob.

15 years ago or less. And society has now become so precious, so desperate not to offend some minority or other in general that Little Britain wouldn’t even make it the commissioning process at the BBC these days. A great shame - because unlike the majority of box-ticking comedies today, it was actually funny.

Saw some repeats of it recently and before each episode there was a ‘ programme contains language / content that may offend some viewers’. For me the best comedy has a bit of an edge to it and pushes boundaries. Which may offend some people. Most of the current stuff is just sanitised, bland and not funny.

The thing about Gammon is it goes so well with so much…Chips…Beans..Eggs…Transport Cafes…WE ARE BEATING AMAZON ON THIS….

Christmas build-up and he is flogging (as in a dead horse) canes and streaky scent…What a bunch of comedians…

Random bits for ya. One of the brands that the company who 'puts out' Gammon, is Nivea. And, I did double take when I changed channels. Those humid bags, or whatever they are, and this perfume. I thought it was a repeat show, not live

The first time I tried gammon I had pease pudding with it

You forgot The Black Knight

I've had worse, my collagen will fix it....

Oh no the best thing he's bought to air in decades.Only 98 left and stock going fast as per usual.Think I'll take a chance and wait until new year when you have 97 left Pedro

I watched some repeats on That's TV, but it was so heavily edited, no Ting Tong or Bubbles DeVere and her friend, but funnily enough they left in Daffyd Thomas and all his gay sayings, also the lady who was always sick after eating Indian food. You have an off button, so if you are easily offended you can turn over instead of spoiling it for the rest of us.

I'm surprised they showed any of it as so much could be deemed offensive. The Lou and Andy sketch was criticised for being offensive to disabled people, but Andy wasn't disabled and was just conning Lou by skydiving and jumping out of a parachute the minute Lou's back was turned. They weren't saying all people in wheelchairs do that, just this character.

Far too many classics get the same treatment these days. Can the modern viewer not take things as they were, rather than how they feel it should be now?

Maybe the older generation should take offense at shows like Drag Race, Naked Attraction, etc?

Smart - so it has Alexa or Siri built into the handle to sound the alarm when the user falls over?

I used to watch that too. And if they show them nowadays, they do put a 'paraphrasing here', this was a product of it's time. Some viewers might find it offensive. I saw an episode of Till Death do us part recently. Had that warning too. It was funny. I won't tell you the skit that made me laugh, coz I might offend people But as you say, there is an off button, or a channel change button, that comes in handy when some shopping telly presenters are on (Thought I'd bring it back to topic).

They do the same with Steptoe and It Ain't half hot Mum. I'm an adult, and can decide for myself whether to be offended or not.

 

[galesgal57]

Wonder where he was wearing them?

In the crusty blue shorts to soak up any emissions!

Absolutely. And besides, most people 'on here' are probably of an age to not be offended by them. Yes, 'we' know they they couldn't be, or wouldn't be, made now, but back in the day. And besides, you see people in 70's attire: 'new' not costume, so you know it was a different time.

Now THAT needed a warning before showing And I haven't got my bucket handy either
