Maybe a Special Dispensation from the Bishop for those heroes who work on Sunday to get us our daily bread, petrol, and beer? And how about cooling the rhetoric about Satan? It's the politicians we should be blaming for the ills of the World. Pick your favorite! The Ten Commandments aren’t the bible, just like John Cleese whipping a car isn’t Fawlty Towers. I asked you which version of the bible was the one that you objected to changing. You are the one who wants things to be static. If you can’t answer me, fair enough.

I can see why some folks don't appreciate FT. (You missed my Lol after a satiric comment on the Bible). But if you need a more serious explanation, revisions to ancient texts of any sort are above my pay scale, I'm afraid. I'll be happy to leave that to the Pope, or somebody else, well versed in the mystic lore of Fathers , Sons, Holy ghosts, Archangels, and virgin births, because I still wouldn't take it seriously.

I've got them ordered from ebay and they should be with me in a few days. I have to say I'm actually looking forward to watching them 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're on Britbox which is free for 30 days, if you've got a few hours spare you could easily fit all 12 episodes into 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did consider streaming it (never thought of Britbox tho) but my Internet connection is terrible at the moment. Sky promise to fix it but I've zero faith in them. Most of the time I need to hot-spot my phone with my pc just to use the Internet on the computer. Its my own fault, I know sky are bad but I used the Better the devil you know philosophy. Yeah, I'm a moron 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Programs like Fawlty Towers and Love thy neighbour were family watched comedy programs in their time enjoyed by everyone. It was Basil Fawlty who looked the fool in the German episode and Eddy was always the fool in every episode of Love Thy neighbour. These programs should still be available to watch in the age of multi channels and on demand services. By all means in the snowflake World we live in today have a warning before the programs begin like what Talking Pictures do. We live in a mad World when two men are allowed to be broadcast kissing each other well before the watershed and broadcasters are wary of showing tradition family comedy programs from the 70's. Why shouldn't men kiss each other before the watershed? Why do you think that's mad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Why not go the full hog and bring back The Good Old Days . Amusingly the black guy in Love thy Neighbour called his white neighbour " snowflake". Maybe we can compromise and have a same sex bi racial couple have a full on row with the objectionable word in question and then a full on makeout session to make up.
