Give the weans some credit, FFS! Anyone caught that Melissa & Joey show that they repeat on E4? The wean likes most things on that channel but, by Christ, that thing is awful. Incredulous that it seems to have managed four seasons and international sales. I can see the influence of things they take in, be it tv or the language and behaviour of other people as it begins to take seed on account of them being my kids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't show them The SImpsons, for God's sake. You're not alone - I remember this story getting a few eyes rolling on here when it was first in the news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrid Henry is so far the only cartoon where I have felt the need to speak to them about it. Plenty others I think are shite/have questionable learnings, but that one is terrible. Theres no message other than relentless bullying and bad behaviour. A really toxic creation IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, stuff like that really has to carry a strong message at the end IMO and it just doesnt. The maw is a wet blanket and the wee laddie is an irredeemable wretch. f**k it, its banned here now too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The wife likes to watch Masters of Flip on ITV Be every night and we always catch the last 5 minutes of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills which is on before it. Its an even bigger lot of shit that I could possibly imagine, but it does have Denise Richards in it tho who still looks great tho! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackdaybob Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Well, I'm no annoyed particularly. Or delighted either. Are they right to pull it though?? Part of me gets it. The other part of me is firmly in the "if it offends you, don't watch it, shut up, f**k off and let the ones that do enjoy it watch it". Probably makes me OFTW these days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if I want to w**k, there's porn. If I want to see anything approaching an amusing sitcom, a multi-fatality car wreck would be a better bet, and would have fewer moments to wince at. Edit: I was going to add that Little Britain was only fifteen years ago, times can't have changed that much, etc. Then I remembered that all of the sexist/racist Seventies sitcoms were only fifteen years away from the early Nineties when they became unpopular, so fair enough. I've just grown old enough that fifteen years seems like fifteen minutes ago now. Little Britain's whole shtick was "ooh, look how edgy and un-PC we're being", so maybe time's just shown that up for the fallacy it always was. There'll always be an audience for that kind of shit, supposedly ironic or not. Edited June 9, 2020 by BigFatTabbyDave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfha Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I never really found Little Britain funny. The Computer says and the cripple running around got tired after the first time. Pulling it from the Britbox was probably because nobody was watching it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling it from the Britbox was probably because nobody was watching it anyway.I've actually dealt with the real "computer says no" woman. She works at the Bank of Scotland in Dumfries. I assume she's known as that among her colleagues as well because I had another appointment a couple of weeks later and the (other) woman asked who had dealt with me at my last appointment. Not knowing her name, I asked if she had seen the Little Britain character and she started to laugh and went "I know who you mean". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Britain DVDs would easily be in the top 10 if anyone compiled a "most donated to charity shops" list. Don't think I've ever, ever sold one either. They circulate around between shops for years, until someone finally gives them to the trash collectors like World of Books and Book Donors, who immediately chuck them in the bin as they can't even get tuppence for them on eBay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandcowden Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 watched the programme about Monaco on last night.the tune to their national anthem(what I assume was being played as the royal family headed off to church after inspecting the guard) seems to be the same as "scots wha hae?"!bizzarre 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
