from what I understand, inbetweeners is being removed from some streaming services - like a few other shows - due to copyright issues because the BBC / ITV etc want you to now pay for them on Britbox rather than get them for free on iplayer / youtube etc.
come fly with me I think is the same as the blackface stuff in little britain - or maybe because it's equally ****... ?

I can and do watch The Inbetweeners endlessly. Won't be subscribing to BritBox though and pay for repeats

A story based on two anonymous tweets. No word from anyone who is in a position to do anything about the show. Mind you, that Christmas episode was awful.
Edit. Bob, whatever channel four call their streaming service has The Inbetweeners. Kinda free, you've paid a bit through your license fee and a the rest from supporting the advertisers.

A story based on two anonymous tweets Let's hope that's all it is, fake news. The media has a lot to answer for sometimes.
BTW I thought the Christmas show was quite good.

Like the poor reporting of the removal of Fawlty Towers. Hinting it is the ‘don't mention the war' stuff when it is far more likely the racial epithets used by the Major earlier in the same episode that are the issue. Yes, like Alf Garnett and that Pub Landlord character, it was written to lampoon their stupid, racist views but ended up unintentionally catering for both sides who found it funny for different reasons. Tricky thing, satire.
Still, it's not like we haven't already had to have a good look at a lot of the TV from the 70's for one kind of inappropriate content or another. More new content, fewer repeats.

I said it earlier when they repeat Porridge there is a warning saying that some of the language used was of a different era.
I think that's fair for some programmes but some are obviously too OTT

They've been ****ing with it for years, for the same reason as they have now, the Major's racist cricket rant.
Nothing to do with the Germans.

Be nothing left to watch at this rate, Just delete anything made before this week and start again that should do it.

Major Gowen was written as an old school racist, that's the point, anyway, didn't they edit that bit out years ago anyway?
The BBC's cutting of racial insults from a repeat of The Germans has brought the integrity of the hit comedy show into question. But the words are clearly used to satirise English upper-class bigotry - Mark Lawson 2013
EDIT: @nine0six just seen your post #20, that'll teach me not to read the thread
