I like the fella, but i am assuming it is a stunt. He did make a spoof of the Sue Gray report which upended a few people
Audience member offended by Joe Lycett joke. Calls the police

Will they ever make 'Goodness Gracious me' in this day and age. and that was benign in many ways..
PS: Saw one episode of Citizen Khan.. absolutely hated it and not a shade of GGM. Though i would not call the police on them

Anybody thought that she could run a donkey sanctuary. ??How can you be so braindead as to think a poor taste joke at a show you paid to see is a crime? I blame the education system.

Isn’t it the fault of Police ?
Survey out the other day saying Burglary wasn’t even looked into in most parts of the country.
But they can spare an officer to look into this.
That beggars belief imo.
The Police need a reset in the way they deal with things like this.

Or half an hour of Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson, Jethro or pretty much any comedian from the 60's or 70's

Even Little Britain wouldn't make it nowadays. Do they still show repeats of that? Every character was one stereotype or another. I don't think many of them would make it through the 2022 edit. Would be about 7 minutes of material left from each episode.

What about come fly with me? I was surprised that made it then!
On the subject.. for crying out loud .. it's a joke. Too many easily offended

How about 'Till Death Us Do Part' and/or 'Steptoe and Son'?
I don't remember Steptoe being offensive, or am I remembering incorrectly?

No nor me.
But there must of been the odd one given when it was made.
But even “You dirty old man” would offend someone on somebody else’s behalf.!

Maybe my memory is playing tricks, but I seem to remember a few about 'customers'.
It was a brilliant series, but I'm not sure I'd want to see it now. I think to many things that have been improved infinitely since would likely spoil it.
Btw. It has to be... 'You DIR tee old man'! that was the jingle, just as 'Scouse Git!' was for TDUDP. I actually enjoyed the US version/copy All in the Family better than TDUPD

Yes agree.
But it would be good for someone to air a channel that shows this stuff.
But you would need a “ don’t bother if your easily offended “ spoiler alert.
Not going to happen though.

Censoring stuff often ruins it…
Watched the film Stardust at the weekend and after Robert De Niros excellent character Shakespeare (the closet gay pirate) gets outed he laments about his lost reputation. His crew reassure him telling him “We always knew you were a whoopsie”
It’s a small part of the film… Shakespeare’s private life doesn’t matter to them; he’ll always be their captain?
Alas no, someone decided it might offend and the line was cut. So the viewer is left not knowing this fact.

As times change, some humour doesn’t age well. Back in the mists of time I used to look forward to ‘Till death us do part.’ I started watching an episode a few months back but cringed at some of the comments, and switched it off. The lady that complained to the Police had the option to walk out.

Not a huge fan of Ricky Gervais but I do like his comment on being offended..
Just because you're offended it doesn't make you right....

I just looked and it's still in the netflix version. You probably weren't paying attention and just jumped to conclusions.
