@Stouffer No its not people today have forgotten how to laugh at themselves its ridiculous to say its racist this is why the world I how it is today because you can't fart by someone without them calling you a racist grow up
@@selenasmith2489 It's actually a very "woke" show beneath the surface. The women get on with each other while the men fight, and the black guy wins. Its real target is the white working class in Eddie who's an idiot.
This show was openly showing racism in every direction, you'd have to be politically-correct on superhuman levels to assume there was any REAL racism in it.
Interesting how being gay had only been legal for a few years when there's came out, and there's a clear insinuation Bill and Eddie have repressed attraction.
The days when play school rainbow noddy magic roundabout Tom and Jerry hammer house of horror and Peter cushine was dracular , school uniform was shirt tie blazer, we had much more manners than kids today....fuck me, the world is in a right bastard mess today.
As an Indian I love this program I wish I was around in these days as I was born in 1985 I love the how everything was different back then it was brilliant my dad showed me his photos from back in the day his ford escort MK2 his cortina with the starchy and husk stripes on his car, Eddie and Bill are excellent in this program and the wife's lol, love when Eddie goes in the shop and he thinks Pakistani guy is trying to rob the till that cracked me God bless them all
The PC Brigade ruined the freedom of expressive comedy....the brilliantly written and acted comedies of the 60s and 70s had a warmth and realism ..that never offended just poked a finger and made fun of it....now the bland unfunny comedies of today ,are so full by comparison....miss the old days
I mean all these comments are so ridiculous. Not every program from the 70s had racial elements so even if "PC culture" has meant you cant make comments on race in the same way, theres a huge range of programs you can do exactly the same as the 70s. The fact is humour changes and the average audience just wouldnt find stuff from the 70s funny. Use your brain for once and you might not being such a backwards moron.
Shame we can’t have a pay per view channel for people that don’t take life so seriously & cut out the shit , obviously not to the extreme of this but milder & funny.
John wick I thought it was Patrick, thanks for the confirm. I did cringe at the racist language, thankfully we have moved on since then, we are all as one, same flesh same blood.
John wick yeah true, I was born on 1972 so remember these sort of programmes very well. None of this PC crap they throw at us these days! People are too sensitive these days. 😂
@@petehotton4740 No its not racist this comedy to people who are not dumb shows you that the white guy was an idiot and never got the upper hand on saying that grow up its just a comedy and a bloody good one the comedies and comedians of today are rubbish so scared and boring
Highly unusual series. Writers were a kitchen sink dramatist and a 1940's end of the pier type. It set out to address growing racial tensions that came about because of a lack of indigenous working people and a reliance upon labour from countries that preserved the UK sovereignty during the WW2. It's like Government Information Films of the time made by Benny Hill. Interestingly, race riots began 5 years later after the last transmission.
No-one's taking any offence in this drama, you can tell everyone's just having a joke and a laugh, and the audience felt the same way. It's all very light-hearted. Not like the sort of real racism you would have got in the United States at that time.
Political correctness has trashed this country, need to re-run this and shows from the era that said, we’re British, come on our terms or don’t come at all...
Especially because those awful politically-correct people only saw the racist remarks when it was the white character saying them to the black character and somehow missed the racist remarks the black character said to the white.
I would have been around 7 years old when these were being screened on TV. I was to young to think the script writers smart enough to base story lines on Eddie always being the brunt of the joke. I just enjoyed the pair of them going at each other and liked it more when they mates. Colour wasn't an issue and what male didn't think Barbie was gorgeous, point is as far as I was concerned everybody the same and Bill and his laugh was hysterical. Makes you wonder where all the upsurge has come from about Rascism. Its the media machine stirring hatred where it once wasn't.....
Don't blame Political correctness. Behind the scenes of this brilliantly written sitcom was real violent racism in the real world. The writer of the script did an excellent job of showing how Britain was a two faced society.
Malcolm X spoke at Oxford South Africa preach apartheid and practise apartheid The United States preach integration but practise apartheid I have more respect for a man who states where he stands even if he is wrong than a man who comes as an angel but a devil Malcolm X spoke at Oxford
I remember as a little child watching this my father used to get so angry and told us to turn it over and now today seeing this on RUclips I will tell my children the same thing if they ever watch this this is races at its best
I guess you ignored the fact the White guy was an out and out Labour man and the Black guy was a Tory... Brexit has got nothing to do with people's colour. What a tool you sound. In fact, Brexit gives people from all over the world equal rights to those within the EU. Which are all WHITE countries. How old are you??? 16?
What a silly thing to say. Have you never dropped a ciggie while taking out one? I did, so I saw other people do, therefore why would they go to trouble of reshooting? While ago there was a video how a lot of important footage from that era was gone because the materials were scarce and expensive. That's another reason for not reshooting something that actually often happens irl.
I hate to be a “naysayer” or PC gone mad bloke. But this is blatantly racist - the excuse of “making fun of racism” may appease the consciences of those who get a kick out of watching it - but it doesn’t change what it is. The Love Thy Neighbours, Till Deaths... and Mind Your Languages of 1970’s present a bewildered white man who can’t cope with racial diversity and were thus intended to evoke viewer sympathy. People like Alf Garnett became public heroes. We never had “An Audience With Else Garnett” did we? Saying Love Thy Neighbour isn’t racist is like saying Are You Being Served isn’t sexist and homophobic. Enjoy your nostalgia but don’t kid yourself that it isn’t racist - it is.
Shut up idiot go away you big baby alf garnet and love thy neighbour were the best comedies ever and still are people of today do not have a sense of humour and have no idea how to laugh at themselves and chill that's why the world is so violent
It takes the piss out of racial bigotry at a time when such attitudes were more prevalent. The white man isn't presented as a man to be admired, he's presented as a caricature and a figure of ridicule - like Basil Fawlty or Del Boy, though they were of course figures of ridicule for different reasons!
Both call each other names and Good on both!
Bill's facial expressions are outstanding.
R. I. P JACK SMETHURST, THANKS FOR THE LAUGHS

I love this Show it was the funniest show on tv it the time.
Imagine fighting over such a ghastly bedroom suite. It's no wonder it was on sale!
Brilliant comment 👏
I think i still have square eyes from all that orange patterned 70s wallpaper 😅
It was probably modern and styish in 1972!
Loved this back in the days
The good old days when people could have a laugh at silly things.
Thanks for sharing 😉 best era 😦😳😂😂
great show
Harmless fun
Wow. That bedroom suite. MFI quality item! And those milk bottles. Those were the days.
It's do devastating that humour like this wouldn't be accepted today :(
The good old tv programmes . This is when the good humour on both sides black and white and then the hard left took over and then the rest is history.
2:38 where's Wally
This Show should be reintroduced To STOP Racial Predijuse!!! We All Should take in the humour and laugh at Ourselves. All for one and one for All 💜
Newly discovered this show - 12/2023. Glad to see a Guyanese in the show dated back 1970’s the black actor accent is purely Guyanese 👏🏼👍
Brilliant. Great sitcom. Far superior to the rubbish of today.
I agree with you, i am laughing my arse off with these series.

Fantastic comedy
I couldn't agree more 👍

Very funny couldn't get away with it today tho.

17 1/2 p for salad cream!

Owen Prytherch King yes. I noticed that too. 17 1/2p!! It costs 75p now just to look at the stuff
You would have to pay people to eat salad cream these days
The average weekly salary in those days was £25😮
From the days when people could laugh at each other and themselves without getting offended ,brilliant stuff..
Now the Snowflakes cry everything is is racist and protest about things from 200 yrs ago anymore.!..
Exactly people just have no sense of humour today they are so annoying and very boring
Thank Americans for that! Since they infiltrated the world in the 1980s and the British influence faded out, that's why!
