Is this why no Al Jolson movies are ever shown on TV ? Al Jolson was a singing genius, repeat the Black & White Minstrel Show, I want my licence fee to be justified, great song were performed on it.

Ain't Half Hot Mum was better than Dad's Army and OFAH, it was very popular and still no repeats, it was one of the best underrated sitcoms and won't get repeated, why should we keep buying DVD's when things like this should be repeated ? Some Mothers Do Ave Em has a very bad edit to make PC it's a cracking joke.
This was taking out the DVD which cost me £16 at the time.

I do agree, but I don't like Perry & Croft sitcoms anyway. Rather repetitive stuff & "Are You Being Served?" was just a vehicle for John Inman wasn't it? Dad's Army just drives me nuts. Corporal Jones is overplayed & it was never really funny. Plus it was never a winner in the ratings, when originally shown. Neither was "Hot Mum". I'd go for sitcoms like "Happy Ever After" & "No Place Like Home", rather than impossible situations of Perry & Croft.

Last Of The Summer Wine was pratically the same every week, like the awful Keeping Up Appearances. All Roy Clark's stuff was repetitive. Open All Hours icluded & I'm not a fan of David Jason. Overrated I think. "A Sharp Intake Of Breath" was his best work. Though, he wouldn't agree.

Might be nice to see that & also the Liver Birds, in the final 3 series from the 70s. Though I prefer ITV sitcoms, like the Thames ones. ATV were pretty garbage at sitcoms. Remember "The Squirrels"? Awful office set thing. "Bless This House" has to be Thames at it's best. I doubt they'd show "Robin's Nest". One armed Irishman? Wouldn't go down well apparently...But they don't aske people, their views, they just try to guess, on how not to upset people. It would be big of someone to repeat "Love Thy Neighbour". What? Consider a pay per view channel called "Old School TV", Where you could see all these, plus those unshown Top Of The Pops editions.

If anyone complained, we could reply: "If you didn't want to watch it, then why did you pay to watch it?" Are you just a shit stirrer, or something like that?! It would sound good.

Agree Perry & Croft sitcoms were corny and Hi DI HI went on too long, Are You Being Served got too OTT and the follow up was bad. The Squirrels love the DVD but as my dad said you need to of worked or work in a office to appreciate the humour. Open All Hours was garbage and Porridge you need to be in the mood for it. Shelley underrated, Please Sir was excellent, Bless This House was superb, Man About The House had two spin off's.
I got all the DVD's of Love Thy Neighbour family loves it, my old boss who is black said that it was for it's time but still loves it - remember Bill always won against Eddie, Steptoe and Son he loved also. Anyone remember Mind Your Language ? It was sold worldwide and loved all over India where they have released and re-mastered the episodes, only in Britain can we take it offensive.

BH most ATV sitcoms are lost so don't worry too much now.

One episode of "Love Thy Neighbour" (Coach Trip) couldn't be cleared for DVD release, due to music copyright. I think it was a seen on a coach trip to the sea, from January 1976 (the final series) before the Race Relations act, came in. Shortly after we got "The Fosters" & that other LWT sitcom "Mixed Blessings", that I hardly remember. I found that anything with Patrick Cargill, always tickled my fancy. Though I believe some episodes of "The Many Wives Of Patrick" are missing. I wonder if we're ever see "My Good Woman" with Leslie Crowther again? "Yus My Dear" with Arthur Mullard & Mike Reid was garbage. And who remember's Thames TV's "We'll Think Of Something" from 1986? Another awful programme. Though the reason, we don't see many Thames sitcoms repeated, is because the company that now owns them, charges a fortune to show them. "Keep It In The Family" is unlikely to be shown, as one episode has Roy Kinnear guesting in a Restaurant scene, saying to a black fella "Get back to your own Country" under his breath!

There was a short lived sitcom called Kit Curran about a DJ, The Other One had a great cast and gentle humour sometimes dark. BBC want's to forget about it no series two on DVD, never been repeated, read a comment couple of years ago from the BBC saying it was Richard Briers worst moment. Yus My Dear was poor, dad's got it on DVD he likes it. A Little Big Business must have a release only a few episodes are lost out of 20. My Good Woman sounds fun to watch, being ATV don't know if it exists. Never got in to 'Keep It In The Family' but '"Get back to your own Country" is what everyone says everyday. Alf Garnett is one of the worst creations on TV very bad acting, shout, and jokes the same all time. Wish ITV stop repeating On The Buses, Only When I Laugh and George & Mildred, even I love these to bits there lots of sitcoms they can show instead.

Hugh And I will be nice to have on DVD, superb acting and jokes.

If the public want it repeated give it to them. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2351767...aging-prejudice.html

It's not that most of Andrew's opinions are so wildly perverse you'd need to hit your own head with an iron bar to agree with them. It's that he always asserts them as absolute facts. And while he never seems bothered about his money being used to make weapons of mass destruction, fund dubious wars, overpay politicians, help out crooked and incompetent bankers and reward corrupt policemen, let alone moan about Murdoch and Co fleecing millions of people to subsidise hundreds of worthless channels in return for the over-hyped sport that they can no longer access free to air, he can always - always, always, always - be relied on to demand that the evil BBC bends to his every wish like some kind of crazed feudal lord. Pass the sick bucket, Alice.

You got it all wrong no sport is over hyped, some people have different taste. There have always been dubious wars, overpaid politicians, weapons of mass destruction have always been around, corrupt policeman nothing we can do about that it's the world we live in.
The BBC is a corrupt business with biased news it's a propaganda machine, but if they won't repeat a old sitcom or movie as it's not PC but is loved by public then it's not justified for the fee payer doubt the old Steptoe and Son episodes ever be repeated due to use of the 'Wog', hundreds of worthless channels depends what you like don't it.

I spent £16 on a DVD by BBC who cut out a scene as it was not PC, fans were ripped off.

You make it sound as if she clubbed you and dragged you in against your will!

She did.

Tarzan being shown on TCM, every weekday from tomorrow 25th November. I doubt the BBC would show these today. Johnny Weissmuller to Lex Barker all to be shown & all those little black men, leading the big white hunters, through the jungle. I shall certainly be watching each day at 3pm. Brilliant childhood entertainment.

Doubt they show some Laurel & Hardy films as they did black face in several of them. There storage probably as a separate shelf with red tape saying 'do not air due to racism.'
