While I see it is insensitive now I don't think removing media helps. What's next?

If it gets banned/destroyed then it becomes more of an issue IMO. It's like the statues, removing statues that are glorifying slave traders is one thing, if they tried to remove all of that from the history books altogether is something different. |

I don’t see what this is achieving?
If Keith Lemon had not posted that apology on Instagram, the show(s) would have probably remained online. It’s nothing but an unnecessary knee-jerk reaction. |

Don't really agree with this. I get that it's offensive and people would rightly never make something similar now, but it was a different time culturally (even though it wasn't that long ago but still) and the point of the show was that it was offensive and took the piss out of everyone equally, inlcuding the gays, posh people, fat people, disabled people, chavs etc. If people don't like it they just shouldn't watch?? Freedom of choice exists.

The Trisha one was quite insensitive to be fair and apparently Trisha Goddard and her family were offended so I see that skit with different eyes now really

I was young when Bo Selecta was on tv but I don’t remember any of the characters being offensive, or it being a point of reference for controversy. |

I'm a bit baffled about the backlash for the Mel B character. Mel herself loves it and finds it hilarious and he never made that racial at all, as far as I remember.

Little Britain and its depiction of black characters, transgender characters and gay characters has been a big discussion the last couple of years. Last edited by Marsh.; 09-06-2020 at 08:46 PM. |

I think it's just another target to rage at? The Mel B character is basically Jim Bowen, I don't think the mask is even particularly dark, so there's nothing racial about it at all
