Another Major TV Show Could Be Pulled Offline Due To Racist Content


Listen Later

This week it was confirmed that Little Britain was removed from Netflix and the BBC iPlayer.
It's amid concerns about its use of blackface and racist humour.
The show consisted of a series of sketches involving exaggerated parodies of British people from various walks of life. Each sketch was introduced by a voice-over narration (Tom Baker) suggesting that the programme was a guide – aimed at non-British people – to British society. Despite the narrator's description of "great British institutions", the comedy arises from the British audience's self-deprecating understanding of either themselves or of people known to them.
Recurring characters included Andy Pipkin, who falsely presented himself as being wheelchair bound to gain the attention of his carer Lou Todd; Daffyd Thomas, who claims to be "the only gay in the village" despite much evidence to the contrary; and Vicky Pollard, presented as a working-class chav engaging in anti-social behaviour.
Now it looks like the Inbetweeners may be subject to same faith, after all episodes of the show were removed from YouTube. However, some are speculating that the show simply might just be moving to the streaming service BritBox.
