Gone with the times
Given that some content has been dropped by some providers these are some programmes that you will never see.
The Black and White Minstrel Show
The idea of a group of performers singing show tunes might seem harmless enough. But when you consider the male members of the troupe are in black face then things change. Amazingly it ran for 20 years.
Curry & Chips
Starring comedy legends Spike Milligan and Eric Sykes. Milligan plays an Irishman with Pakistan heritage with the one time Goon using make up to do this. The show was taken off air complaints of racism.
Mind Your Lanague
A sit-com in which a group of over seas students go to night class to learn English It's use of stererotypes means it is not likely to get an airing
Heil Honey I'm Home
Without a doubt the most tasteless premise British TV has known. Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun find out their new neighbours are Jewish. Taken off air by BSB after just one episode aired though right minded will say one was too many.
