(26 Nov 2014, 10:43 pm)Andreos1 Well they have done the 'gay' characters, touched on racism, the public safety films for kids and now back to racism and The Black and White Minstrel show

Was Jimmy Savile involved with some public safety ads in the 70's...

Watching it now on 4+1

(26 Nov 2014, 10:26 pm)Andreos1 Anyone watching ch4? TV in the seventies - near the knuckle, racist, sexist and homophobic telly described in this social documentary.

I watched the one which aired last week (or the week before - I can't remember).

Come one then, who has 'gay shirts' and aftershave? The line from a copper, when discussing the strategies he used to identifying homosexual behaviour.

The Gay Clothing and aftershave comment was funny...

The bit about feminism was funny, especially when they showed the East German Shot Putter, did the guy something to the effect of 'Believe it or not, this is actually a woman' Big Grin

Actors like John Inman was funny 'IM FREE'

It seems like most comedies in the 70's had to have a token black guy e.g. McClaren in Porridge and a token homosexual e.g The Vicar in Dads Army, Mr Humphries in Are You Being Served or Lukewarm in Porridge...There also seemed to be a lot of Anti-Semitism

Talking about the first baby born in the European Common Market...I feel sorry for that poor bastard...being named Gerard Big Grin


RE: General TV thread - Andreos1 - 26 Nov 2014

What about Derek Griffiths doing the 'eyes' and talking about people from China?
It has ruined my memories of Playschool!


Re: General TV thread - MrFozz - 26 Nov 2014

Lol at Kenny Lynchs supposed handprints on that womans tits on that Frankie Howard show...

Most of the clips shown are quite funny actually, though nobody would dare attempt it today...

The Two Ronnies did a sketch called The Sheik in the Grocery Store, probably could not be more stereotypical and racist if they tried.




RE: General TV thread - MrFozz - 26 Nov 2014

Have you ever seen Blazing Saddles before Andreos...With the now very famous line

[b]We'll give some land to the n****rs and the c***ks...But we dont want the Irish' Big Grin


RE: General TV thread - Andreos1 - 27 Nov 2014

Never seen that Two Ronnies sketch before or Blazing Saddles at all.

Blazing Saddles is probably one of the most politically incorrect movies I have ever seen, but it is funny, a product of the era it was made in...

Haha, was mint when he and Michael was rapping.

Kendra needs to go, that fucking yank accent


RE: General TV thread - Andreos1 - 27 Nov 2014

Gillian Anderson looking very glam on BBC2.

She plays a gay CID police officer in a gritty Northern Irish drama.

All these twists and turns in Eastenders man, certainly wasnt expecting Peter to be Lucys Drug Dealer, my Money was on it being Nick.

Think he does actually, he was acting quite weird in that episode though but I doubt he was the Killer.

Never had Peter Beale down as a coke head mind! Was gutted when they killed Lucy off mind, on the basis that Hetti Bywater is stunning.
