Now there is an idea! If Tom and Barbara, along with Margo and Jerry, lived on the other side of Hyacinth and Richard; pity poor Elizabeth, though I think she and Barbara might be great friends. The real clash would be between Margo and Hyacinth - the music society would fold up its tents and slip away quietly in the night...
The truth of the matter is that at the time this was filmed, 'gollywog' merchandise was seen as the norm, and wasn't deemed offensive until later on. So, just forget about it.
that's the point ( to my mind) even-minded people don't notice things like that because they don't matter..... they don't mean anything - just a design.....
if i could find an apron like margot's i would wear it today! Just because I was wearing it doesn't mean i promote slavery...and by the way blacks had slaves too!
Yeah it is clearly harmless, look at all the lovely comments it has brought out from the cranks, who seem to get stimulated by the slightest hypothetical offense. The worst part about prejudiced people, worse than your views, which nobody wants to hear, is how unmanaged your anger is.
@sarahnewt that's like saying a swastika is "just a design" Yes it has been Asian religious symbol for centuries..but It's downright insensitive to walk about wearing one emblazoned on your chest no matter how cute or pretty you think it is. Unless you live in India, Japan or any country where animism or Buddhism is practiced, It's inappropriate.
Good lord, why would anyone walk around with a cartoony plantation house slave emblazoned on their front proudly like a coat of arms? I guess it goes a long with her having little self awareness? But still, that's appalling. So little regard for human life is inhuman as it gets.
I think it’s from the old Robertsons marmalade logo , which was got rid of years ago . Got to remember these series are almost forty years old so tv in those days was not so aware In fact I didn’t even notice her apron until I read these comments .no one has “Golly’s as they were called , anywhere anymore because of the racist undertones . It’s part of history and in a way shouldn’t be forgotten . Sadly the modern Slavery of all nationalities is going on today
@teresawoolies I would, because I live in Thailand, where the stupid politically correct disease has thank God not spread. Unless I was unfortunate enough to have dinner with Western backpackers, that is.
Who would dislike this??? It's BRILLIANT!!!
Polishing a goat's horns - LOL! Sounds like something Mrs Bucket from 'Keeping Up Appearances' would suggest!

Thank you!
i love that margo
Bit of a weak storyline in this episode, but it was the fourth series after all. Margot still magnificent though.

O-M-G!!!
I hadn't noticed that before. Geeeeez!

Margo would look good with a whip, and high leather boots.
I always wondered what the Pearsons looked like
Geraldiiiiinnnnneeeeee....!

It's a golly. It's not a "plantation house slave". It comes from the Robertson's jam and marmalade jars.

@ScottfromTexas "Yes, only hatred towards whites is acceptable now" I don't think I've ever agreed with a comment more in my life
