Fawlty Towers
I’m delighted to see that an obviously sexist, racist, tall-body-shaming, moustache-wearing episode of Fawlty Towers has been removed from UKTV’s streaming service. The brave decision makers felt that current sensitivities are such that modern audiences may not be used to laughing.
Government doctors now think that, like taste and smell, loss of a sense of humour may be symptomatic of CoVid 19.
The government is determined to prevent more people dying of laughter. Clearly they are failing.
About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
