Exactly that, some statement about out of date language is all they need to do. The p.c brigade messing with things that don't need messing with ....

Some of the language used in programs today is a lot worse than what was used in the 70’s and 80’s
Some of the programs today are full of it
Gogglebox they all full of F And C etc
Don’t even get started on programs like naked dating or naked attraction or even Bridgestone or whatever it’s called lol
Someone at work was talking about that on Tuesday…

Just add a "dated language" disclaimer and be done with it. None of it makes much sense - I watched Robocop the other night, edited out a "f*ck" and then 10 minutes later his limbs are being blown off in graphic detail.

Only fools is a prime example. Far too many bits to list Tbh. I have the dvd box set, comparing those to what's on TV is really noticeable. Some I get, other bits don't make sense at all

I know the BBC edited out the "N" word from Fawlty Towers", but not aware of anything else.

In no particular order:-

Bottom
Absolutely Fabulous
I'm Alan Partridge (and the one before)
Only Fools and Horses (has to be no.1 obviously)
Fawlty Towers
Men Behaving Badly

Five is tough - just behind (for me):-

One Foot in the Grave
The Office
Some Mothers'
Porridge
Black Adder (only the last two series for me)

Horses for Courses - never got Red Dwarf


None of these would ever see the light of day these days thanks to Woke.

I think I'll give cradle to grave another watch. I really enjoyed white gold, shame there wasn't more.

For myself its got to be the following

1. Porridge
2. Only Fools and Horses.
3. Alan Partridge
4. Father Ted
5. Extras

Cradle to grave was excellent, pity Mr Kay wouldn't do a second series, Phoenix Nights, White Gold, Office, Early Doors are also a few of my Favorites along with Shamless and Brassic, Mammoth from the BBC is also very good.

Only fools and horses
Dads army
Fawlty towers
Bottom
Peep Show

That's for me in no order, hard to do it to 5, one thing for sure comedy is not what it use to be, woke/lefty ****s stifle comedy and creation in general.

The first two series are untouchable IMO. Everything that followed was just a little repetitive and OTT (even by their standards).
