Little Britain
Little Britain
Has been pulled from I player and Netflix ‘ as times have changed’
Should there be some choice as to whether people want to watch it ?

Re: Little Britain
I presume you can still buy the DVD’s so you still have the choice to watch it.

Re: Little Britain
Never watched 'Little Britain' so can't comment but did watch the follow up series 'Come fly with me' which has also been pulled.
Think people should have a choice, yes.

Re: Little Britain
The irony is our society is becoming more like the Nazis by the day, censorship is alive and well in modern Britain. Wonder when the book burning will commence.

Re: Little Britain
Give concrete examples of how this country is becoming like Nazi Germany, show us where censorship is actually happening, I mean actual censorship, not a company taking a TV show off it's streaming platform.

Re: Little Britain
The difference is that BFTBS employed black actors. The others had white actors pretending to be black.
Obviously times have changed, but not in racist Burnley.

Re: Little Britain
The thing is, Matt Lucas and David Walliams have expressed regret over making the show as they did and wish they could change it.

Re: Little Britain
It will be on YouTube. I think it's aged badly.
Anyway, at least it's another thing for the Permanently Angry About Something Brigades to get even more angry and about and I include 'both sides' of the argument here. You know, like stuff that has never crossed their minds in years until they saw a thread on here.

Re: Little Britain
Presumably David Walliams and Matt Lucas will now be 'called out' by Lily Allen and Gary Linekar will start burning Walliams' books.

My view on this and similar happenings is people are trying to rewrite history. In the sense that they are imposing todays standards and norms on a different age. When will the heir to the Duke of Normandy ( if he or she still exists) apologise for stealing my ancestors land ?

Re: Little Britain
I think I'm sophisticated
'Cause I'm living my life like a good homosapien
But all around me, everybody's multiplying
And they're walking round like flies man
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages
In the zoo man
Because compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an Apeman
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized
'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an Apeman
I'm an Apeman, I'm an Ape Apeman
No, I'm an Apeman
Well, I'm a King Kong man, I'm a Voo-Doo man
No, I'm an Apeman
'Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
I am an Apeman
I'm an Apeman, I'm an Ape Apeman
No, I'm an Apeman
Well, I'm a King Kong man, I'm a Voo-Doo man
No, I'm an Apeman
I don't feel safe in this world no more

Re: Little Britain
Everybody got the right to speak their mind
So don't shoot me for saying mine
Everybody talking about racial equality
'Cause everybody's equal in the good Lord's eyes
But if I told you that God was black
What would you think of that
I bet you wouldn't believe it
There's a self made prophet living right next to me
He said the Black Messiah's gonna come and set the whole world free
He looked at me with his evil eye and prophesied
And he really believed it
He said a Black Messiah is gonna set the world on fire
And he's no liar, ''cause he has truly heard the word
Everybody talking about racial equality
But I'm the only honky living on an all black street
They knock me down ''cause they brown and I white
Everybody got the right to speak their mind
So don't shoot me for saying mine
Everyobody talking about racial equality
You hear everybody talking about equal rights
But white's white, black's black and that's that
And that's the way you should leave it
Don't want no Black Messiah to come and set the world on fire
A Black Messiah is gonna come and rule the world
Everybody got to show a little give and take
Everybody got to live with a little less hate
Everybody gotta work it out, we gotta sort it out
Everbody got the right to speak their mind
So don't shoot me for saying mine

Re: Little Britain
I was going to say if they think Little Britain is not PC what would these lefty liberals make of Alf Garnett?
Remember Marigold... the black homosexual often abused by Alf? One of the most popular comedies of the era too. Just shows how much times have changed already. It does make you see how racism etc was just an acceptable run of the mill thing back then.

Re: Little Britain
I think the gist of this argument is if there had been a MOWO (not that there is such a thing..i don't think) awards first..how would that have been perceived? Excluding black artists perhaps? This is the sort of can of worms all this is going to bring up. It is quite ridiculous of course..but pertinent.
