Python Snowflake Warning

Black Hole

Black Hole

May contain traces of nut
That's TV is broadcasting Monty Python's Flying Circus "uncut", but wokery still has them superimposing a trigger-warning banner over the first few seconds:

THIS PROGRAMME REFLECTS THE STANDARDS, LANGUAGE AND ATTITUDES OF ITS TIME. SOME VIEWERS MAY FIND THIS CONTENT OFFENSIVE.

Bonus marks for spelling "programme" correctly. Points deducted for not including an Oxford comma. Not sure what I think about giving permission for viewers to be offended.

I just wish they had added "Hard luck – real life isn't always the way you might like it, and there's always the OFF button.".

Rumour has it that the remaining Pythons insisted on this. I wish all programme rights holders would do the same. I can just imagine someone trying to show The New Statesman. B’Stard (as a name and in full) would be “dipped” - making a nonsense of some of the jokes.

The place for the banner (if you really must do this) is in the space before the programme - not during it. Forces TV has a habit of squashing from bottom upwards the picture to insert such warnings. Like the forces don’t use fruity language.

Can I have a caption warning me that the following caption is offensive?

Surely all current programmes should also be flagged with a warning that they contain language and attitudes of their time?
 
Perhaps you all miss the point.
Any culture is acceptable except british culture - which is offensive by default and must never be preserved.

I'd forgotten about Bstard - I'd love to see that again.
 
:rolling: The chanting from the audience at the live Masters Darts is a bit fruity. There was a message on-screen saying something like "we apologise for the offensive language".
 
OMG! Even Porridge has been cut now!! U&Yesterday, episode 'Ways and Means', Fletch boots McLaren into the cell... but the rest of that scene was cut.
 
I can't remember the episode so don't know what happens in the cut scene. It can't be far from the original broadcast time, so why are they censoring. U& seem to have form for this.
Some channels have been known to broadcast daytime and a post-9pm versions of programmes, although now I see more censored programmes after 9pm. I wonder if the Porridge episode is censored on U player (or Channel 4 player). That is a rhetorical question, I've no intention of looking!

Of course, it may have been cut for timing purposes - more and more adverts.

Edit: Not on U or 4 players. On iPlayer.
