I never found Little Britain funny so never paid much attention to it, but I remember around the same time The Mighty Boosh, which I love, had an episode with "the spirit of jazz" which uses blackface, I didn't even think about it at the time, which really shocks me nowI mean the black face thing was always unacceptable, they just can’t ignore black and ally voices anymore.
Derek was rightly criticised when it came out, and RG is a cunt?
Not sure if it was Twitter or tattle but apparently NF has/had a penchant for teenage girls too. :/I never found Little Britain funny so never paid much attention to it, but I remember around the same time The Mighty Boosh, which I love, had an episode with "the spirit of jazz" which uses blackface, I didn't even think about it at the time, which really shocks me now
god are there any men who aren't perverts??Not sure if it was Twitter or tattle but apparently NF has/had a penchant for teenage girls too. :/
I remember liking what I saw of the Mighty Boosh back in the day, haven’t watched the whole thing through so defs didn’t see the black face!
This is willfully obtuse sorry - and sure the choice of animal you’re choosing to compare this to is no coincidence.Mighty Boosh had that guy who dressed as a gorilla. Perhaps that might be seen as speciesism to apes in a few years. Maybe that's not as far-fetched as we might think.
The new Beatles documentary on Disney has a warning that comes up before it’s shown that it contains people smoking or depictions of tobacco or something equally daft.Virtually every pre-2010 episode of TV on BBC iPlayer has a warning come up about 'some people might find the following content offensive'I would say I'm a fairly 'woke' person but I do find myself thinking "its political correctness gone mad" I sound like a 50 year old BNP member
To be honest, it was just a throwaway funny comment. Sorry it if came across wrong. I wasn't intending to put down the objections to blackface.This is willfully obtuse sorry - and sure the choice of animal you’re choosing to compare this to is no coincidence.
Google about the history of black face, it’s appalling and had no place on TV in Britain ever much less in the last few decades.
Thank you - didn’t want to shut down convo as it’s not my place and Fran is so right it is really interesting to talk about, but there’s defs a difference between the undeniably unacceptable and harmful black face or anti homosexuality hate and like… smoking or referring to pregnant women not pregnant peopleTo be honest, it was just a throwaway funny comment. Sorry it if came across wrong. I wasn't intending to put down the objections to blackface.
Yeah, it's been discussed in the Sali Hughes thread a lot but she was rather mean in the early days of twitter - the days she and the blue tick brigate look back on fondly.it's kinda troubling to me that the trailer includes footage of a trans rights march and a blm protest alongside footage of actual rioting and hooliganism
it's also striking me that lots of the people involved have history of picking on other people on twitter, so it feels like they're really saying "don't look behind the curtain! we are the real victims! we cannot be questioned!"
Dear David Baddiel,I doubt his show is even going to get a one page thread in TV here seeing how basic it's going to be.
Just had a quick listen and around 49 he names tattle and says it's given sali hughes PTSD - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0012g9k
Yeah it's strange the way he suddenly got so much less funny after Rob Newman decided that he couldn't stand him either, Rob was always ahead of the curve, bless him. And I had the same thought about all the new people coming to have a peek themselves at tattle instead of taking the blue tickers' word for it.PS your show is shit and you were never that funny.
