Little Britain and its depiction of black characters, transgender characters and gay characters has been a big discussion the last couple of years.

Blackface.

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.

I'm worried for Dipsy now

As far as I know, Come Fly With Me was due to be removed from Netflix anyway as it was the end of contract, they’d advertised that it was leaving, not sure if little Britain was advertised as leaving too however

[DouglasS]

Soon all comedies are going to be removed because so many people are insensitive. What’s next, South Park, family guy, American dad, the simpsons?

They already demanded that Apu be removed from The Simpsons.

I really don’t see the issue, the shows aren’t being erased, just like the statues being taken down, you’ll still be able to access them if you want to, companies don’t have an obligation to keep shows on their platforms, it’s not like there burning all the dvds in the world

[Marsh.]

Insensitive?

[Mitchell]

What confuses me is why Leigh Francis used the Mel B character with Mel B herself over Christmas 2019 if either perceived It as racist

Matt Lucas and David Walliams made millions writing it.

[Withano]

Fair enough. It didn’t age well at all.

I feel like snipping the bits out would be a more sensible solution though.

[Shaun]

Ehhh it was pretty bad comedy anyway. Found it funny at the time because I was 13.

[GiRTh]

Not the best of British comedy and never was. I wont miss it.

[Rob!]

Good, it was one of the unfunniest programmes ever put to film anyway.

[Ramsay]

I know I'm irish so I'm probably biased but **** this show it was always so terrible

[Ninastar]

This is stupid, are they gonna take down the ‘only gay in the village’ skit too or is that not offensive enough?

British humour is mostly offensive humour. And it’s one of the things I miss most about the UK

1) They've taken the whole show down
2) That would be a sketch where the character playing a gay male is... a gay male. Which isn't...really problematic.

It’s stupid because they make fun of everyone... including themselves. It’s not as though they are making fun of someone because of their skin colour. It’s just a character they are portraying.

It’s just dumb because I feel like no one actually complained about it and now the super right wing ppl are gonna claim that it was taken down because people are pathetic and complain about everything

Where've you been? People have complained about it since it was originally aired.
