Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

Another question answered (see post of 13/10/09).  The BBC have decided that "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" is not suitable for modern viewers, and it has therefore been taken off the list of programmes considered for re-runs. Not sure whether that is more of an indictment of the programme or of modern society.  Reminiscent of the fuss about one of the earlier Tintin books which I posted about in 2007.  Surely we are adult enough to be able to read a book or watch a programme while making allowances for when it was written or filmed and the fact that ideas and views may have changed since then.  Hope one of the other "nostalgia" channels picks it up - it was a good sitcom and of course made stars out of Windsor Davies and Don Estelle.
