Some bore will probably turn up and tell you its already being shown on Zambian TV on channel 824 on Sky. I think the point of the thread was asking should these programmes be shown on mainstream TV channels.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned "Love Thy Neighbour",this is really funny and racist.It definitely could not be shown now.The whole series is available on Ebay for about a tenner.

"really funny and racist." 

 

How does that work?

It works because it was on in the early 70s when racism was acceptable !

Racism wasn't particularly accepted it was quite a new concept with the influx of immigrants, certain terms that are now considered offensive were in regular use, for the record this is a fairly lame comedy where the white man (Jack Smethurst) was always the one with egg on his face come the end, only the terminally offended could actually be affected by rubbish like this.

Ah yes - the good old 70’s when you could call someone a racist name and everyone laughed.

 

imagine if 50 years later you said it wasn’t right and people called you a “snowflake”.

 

ah the laughs.......

Another vote for the magnificent 'Hill Street Blues'. Best 'cop' show of the 70s. Or probably ever actually.

 

Would also like to see a complete 'Moonlighting' run. I know Bravo showed selected episodes on Sky back in the day, but to my knowledge no channel has repeated it from start to finish. "Some walk by night, some fly by day......…"
