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

Well sure, but it doesn't stand out from Avid's own face, so it can't really be called blackface.

Erm, yes it does.

[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?

[Liam-]

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

Insensitive?

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

No-one thinks it's racist, he's doing his friend a disservice by expecting people to find it offensive.

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

Exactly what I said. The removal of content from platforms is a knee-jerk reaction to Keith Lemon/Leigh Francis/whatever you want to call him’s Instagram apology.

Once it was posted, David Walliams and Matt Lucas were sent abuse on social media and there were demands for them to apologise as well. I’m not too privy re this ‘big discussion’ and definitely won’t deny it has received criticism, but what I do know is that a lot of the content from LB and CFWM still circulates on Twitter and it’s mainly laughed at.

That's odd they would receive that considering Matt Lucas especially has been apologising an awful lot for the Little Britain content for a while.

Scott
they need to sell that paper
some will buy it.

It is Hard Times for papers



Lots of WH Smiths are still closed.

[Withano]

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

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

Matt Lucas and David Walliams made millions writing it.

[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.

It's blackface isn't it?..not one blackface but 4.

[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.
