What a load of shite! Chinese Alan was named as such as he liked Chinese Food!

Seth was a minor character in one episode as Pete and Dawn's 3some 'help'.

Nothing to see here!

With everything that's going down, this is exactly the type of 'cutting edge' journalism the country needs too read. Taken from a few tvvats on facebook or whatever. What a load of shit!

Don't forget Smithy is fat, Bryn is gay, Doris is old, there's a couple of stereotypical Welsh people in it and I'm pretty certain there's a reference to one of Stacey's ex's being Asian.

This is getting stupid if you look hard enough you'll find something to be offended about in every programme ever made.

Spot on, mate, I despair of the UK, and the UK media in particular.
Meanwhile, over 41,000 UK citizens to date have died directly from corona virus and calls are growing for an official enquiry into the government's handling of the crisis, which has been inept from day one.
The daughter of one victim who died in a care home, Dr Cathy Gardner, is taking legal action against Matt Hancock. She alleges his failings have led to "large numbers of unneccessary deaths and serious illnesses" and have been aggravated by the making of wholly disingenous, misleading and - in some cases - plainly false ststements suggesting that everything neccessary has been done to protect care homes during the pandemic". Lying through his feckin teeth, in other words.
THAT'S the news, not feckin statues and 40 year old TV programmes.

A big complaint was the only BAME character was Seth. Not true as Gav’s mate ‘Fingers’ is black and Ahmed is both mentioned and appears and is a ‘nice guy’. A positive representation of British Asians. As said Chinese Alan is down to his love of Chinese
Takeaways. I feel this is more an attack on James Corden for whatever reason.
The ‘Fawlty Towers’ episode I saw on a flight (Cathay Pacific) recently and I was genuinely shocked by the Major’s description of Indians and Afro Caribbeans in that. Even at release it would have been close to the knuckle

Look at Basil's reaction to it - that tells you what the writers were aiming for.

Lampooning racists is racist, apparently.

Fûck me, there are some magnificently stupid people out there.

See also: Garnett, Alf.

You were supposed to laugh at him, not with him.
I suppose that’s bitten the dust now too. Ironic/tragic.

Pretty soon we won't be allowed to laugh at anything. We won't be allowed to label anything either.
We've lost context, irony, humour is destined for the dustbin too.

I wonder if it's still OK to call Welsh people sheepsha$$ers?

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

I remember hearing an interview with Warren Mitchell who said Johnny Speight became horrified that so many viewers watched TDUDP because they agreed with every word that Alf Garnett said and not to laugh at him.

Exactly the intent seems to have been lost in the issues being discussed today. Racism is wrong and does need addressing but how selective are people being. If someone who donated money to build a hospital etc is now classed as racist or was involved in the slave trade, do we pull the hospitals down. I know that is an extreme example but there does appear to be very little thought at the moment.

Exactly what I thought watching it a couple of weeks ago. The response to it was the point not what he said. Had the response been different theres an argument. Unveliveable some of the stuff I've heard last few days. Comedy is gone - if you can't take the pi** out of anything anymore for fear of offending what can you do. It would be different if a programme was constantly picking on 1 particular stereotype but I've never seen that happen.
