Fawlty Towers removed from Netflix?
Since everything racist is getting removed, will Fawlty Towers be the next to go?
It is currently on Netflix, and I like to watch it. But, I am uncertain as to whether it will remain or not? I hope it doesn't get removed as I will be writing a complaint about it.

To be honest if it gets removed, a complaint isn't going to do much. If you look at what has happened after Come Fly With Me and Little Brittian have been removed, no matter how many people complain, if something is removed it will be removed and people are just going to have to deal with it

You're right, I doubt they would even give it a second thought. I would just have to watch it some other way. But, if it does get removed, the same as Little Britain, Come Fly With Me and all the other great shows, I think it would only be fair to remove Sunny D from BBC Iplayer and also Citizen Khan.
worlds gone mad
Well the type of humour in Faulty Towers ages better so I expect it won't be removed. Up to them though.
No one 'blacks up' in Fawlty Towers, they did in Little Britain.

I suppose, but I still think Sunny D and Citizen Khan should be removed. Fawlty Towers will probably be taken off the TV though, the same as Love Thy Neighbour.

Love thy Neighbour apparently used the N word, so I hope is not on tv. Never seen Sunny D, and I did not find Citizen Khan funny.

Love Thy Neighbour was a great show, and is on YouTube (for now). They might have used the N word, but the word 'honky' (derogatory term for white people) was also used, yet that goes unnoticed.
I can’t see the whole series of FT being taken off, but rather episodes instead. The episodes where the builders come round might be a gonna,
Also, in the Germans epaidie the major uses a racist term. I suspect that entire exchange will go as well.

I think it's the archaic views on race in general; on both sides.

Are there any blackpeople in Faulty Towers?
Could Black adder get taken off? Anything dodgy there?
Cant see why Citizen Khan would get taken off?

Because the father in Citizen Khan never allowed his daughter to befriend white people. That offends me, but I am white, so my feelings don't count. There is only one black character in Fawlty Towers and one of the main characters uses racist remarks when referring to black people.

No it doesn't. There was a thread the other day about language in that programme.

Umm, I watch that show and the black guy (played by Rudolph Walker) uses the word in an argument with his neighbour and work colleague.

You said that the use of 'honky' wasn't noticed. I replied that it does get noticed because it was mentioned in a recent thread about the programme.
