Neither did the 2 episodes of LoG which featured Papa Lazarou yet they were pulled.
Wouldnt be surprised to see it pulled. Streaming companies will take a blanket approach most likely. I couldnt fathom out any offence in the Mighty Boosh one either.

Apart from crimes against comedy.

Been watching series 1 on BBC Scotland, it's on at 10pm on s Friday night. The first 3 series were consistently good, felt from series 4 onwards it was a bit more hit and miss. Don't know why but they showed the episodes out of order, Faimly was on last Friday, with one of the best after closing titles scenes.
 

Aye that scene is quality. I've got a box set and 'Faimly' is episode 2 on there and on Netflix, but according to Wiki, it was originally episode 4, and 'Waddin' was last.
The different theme music on Netflix annoys me a bit. Not that the original music was great.

Just discovered I can get the entire run on Netflix here. I know I’ve seen up to the middle of season 7 and seen a lot of criticism of 8 & 9.
Is it worth watching or will it just drain my will to live?

First run through I found the new ones OK at best and mediocre for the most part. After re-watching them all a few months back 7 and 8 are actually decent enough viewing (excluding MM's scenes). They are nowhere near the peak years but I think they are decent enough. S9 was a massive massive drop in quality for me though. I'll give them another run-through and might change my mind like 7 and 8.

TL;DR, you'll probably not be impressed the first time (expectation maybe?) but you'll likely enjoy them more on second viewing.

1 or 2 of them are pretty good, another couple are watchable. A few are absolutely dreadful. Massive decline in quality overall. Basically going all in for OTT physical comedy as opposed to the patter based comedy that made the original run so successful.

They also shoehorn in characters who were funny when used sparingly before, such as Peggy and Fergy the ned. Peggy in particular gets more air time than she got in the whole first seven seasons. That's before you mention the wheely bin fire that is Methadone Mick.

All in all, it's shite but I'd watch it just cos it's Still Game, just less funny and looking a bit creepy in HD.
