Yeah. There's the famous Not The Nine O'Clock News "Constable Savage" sketch, where the racist policeman's boss asks "Would I be right in thinking Mr Kodogo is a coloured gentleman?" which would at the the time have been the polite way of asking if he was black.

I remember watching this first time round, in (ironically) black-and-white, and even as 12 year-olds we knew Eddie was a dickhead and Barbie was gorgeous. And it was funny. But we were also aware of the underlying message and that was down to the beauty of the writing. As you say there is no way in hell that could be broadcast today and personally I think that's a bit of a shame. Like Till Death us do Part it showed the racist up as an ignorant git. But probably the 'woke' generation wouldn't understand the nuances. Pity!

How true. Programmes like Love thy neighbour & in sickness and in health, showed the absurdity of racism & racists. I was about 10 yrs old when love thy neighbour started. And even as kids we knew Eddie & Alf Garnett were the one's being shown up for wankers. Glad you're enjoying love thy neighbour in the spirit it was meant to be. Peace out.

The problem was, especially with till death us do part, the racist didn't grasp that it was actually making Alf Garnet look a fool, they saw him as a hero. The far right brain cannot grasp irony, which actual studies have proved.

I was taught to say coloured rather than Black, an ex manager I worked for told me in no uncertain terms that I wasn’t to use “coloured” again. Funnily enough I was telling a black girl I worked with that I’d just been chastised for saying coloured because it may cause offence, the context of my use of the word was not to offend. She told me “I identify as coloured, don’t worry about it”. The goal posts have moved over the years and it’s tricky working out how each person will react to what you say regardless of actual context. I’ve always adored Rudolph Walker’s accent, such a shame it is dying out in the U.K. as the dependents of those who came from the West Indies pick up local regional accents. Rudolph once said that when he goes back to Trinidad people ask if they will make more of the show, obviously that will never happen because the context of the show is lost on many of todays generation, they don’t get that you are supposed to laugh at Eddie & not with him. It’s nice to see Rudolph still working at the age of 84, loved him in the Thin Blue Line.

We use to have jam jars in shop that had golliwogs on. (That look like Eddie as black man). Then years later it stopped because it offended. Even there were GW dolls. There were Old films of white men with boot polish on their face and wigs - black & white minstrels.

We loved the Robinson's golliwogs as a kid and loved saving up the paper images from the jars to send off for the enamel badges. My parents loved the Black and White Minstrels and my take on it was that black men were seen as better singers so the white men blacked up. Interesting that the women were always white. People weren't offended because they hadn't been told they should be.

To answer your question. In school when I was a kid growing up in the 70's you were literally taught not to say black as this would cause offence, you had to say coloured lady or gent, few years later we weren't allowed to say coloured person but black; and it was that for years. Now it's back to people of colour. Question, what's the difference between the offensive coloured person and acceptable person of colour.

In summer I go a tasteful shade of crimson with some parts eventually turning tan-ish. A blow to the face brings out a palette of blues, yellows, greens(!) and black. And yet Bill was the coloured one!

I went to a mix race school when this was originally shown and there probably was just as many mixed races, but there were good and bad on both sides no matter what colour. My closest friends were black and the Pakistans wouldn’t have anything to do with us but things have probably changed since than. It isn’t a sin to be black, white, brown but racism is.
