Don’t mention the war on 07:29 - Jun 12 by Lohengrin
I think it’s got more to do with the Major’s cricket story.
Indeed. And possibly Basil's reaction to the African doctor who treats him for his knock on the head. Which frankly is one of the most sublime and subtle pieces of comic timing ever. These things will be back anyway, the streaming companies will just put a disclaimer before them. There are early episodes of Only Fools and Horses that wouldn't be written today in the same way as they were in the early '80s.

That whole episode is perfect. God knows how many times I must have seen it by now, I know exactly what’s coming up and most of the script by heart and I still laugh out loud every time.
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

As ECB predicted "Guidance and warnings highlighting “potentially offensive content and language” will feature alongside the episode".
This is the correct decision in my view. It had felt a knee jerk reaction to remove the episode, and it was an unnecessary distraction from the matter at hand.

I’ve posed this on another thread but it should be here as well -
Cleese told The Age newspaper: “If you put nonsense words into the mouth of someone you want to make fun of, you’re not broadcasting their views, you’re making fun of them. The major was an old fossil left over from decades before. We were not supporting his views, we were making fun of them. If they can’t see that — if people are too stupid to see that — what can one say?”
