‘I watched Only Fools and Horses for the first time and was just mortified’

[JackSomething]

I feel a bit sorry for the 'journalist' who wrote this. They're probably a junior and if she'd watched it and said something mild like it was probably funnier at the time but a bit problematic these days then her piece wouldn't have got published.

Outrage sells. It sells to those who agree with the opinion and the many, many more who enjoy the chance to get outraged at her opinion. As can be seen on this thread.

In 40 years, if humanity still exists, I imagine news outlets will be putting out similar stories about the entertainment made today in our more 'enlightened' times.

Some of it hasn’t aged well.

Aye, falling through the bar...remember the times when we could stand at the bar?

...and who was the barman...?...

Great series. Imagine the outcry if Trigger was black.

In the future I believe people will look back at these times, and think, what a pathetic time they were.

I agree, but I think we're probably talking about different things prompting that point of view...

Amy’s currently watching To Hull and Back On Gold and I notice they’ve cut the Robin Hood song out.
Why’s that then is it because Robin was a bit of a vigilante?

More likely to be around the rights to the song. Quite a few episodes have been edited for that reason.

I haven't watched it for years, but i've seen every episode hundreds of times. One of the best shows ever made.

 

[exiledclaseboy]

Great show but suffers badly from overexposure and went on for years longer than it should have. The later specials were excruciating.

Pity they couldn't make a new series of Fools & Horses about woke Britain, I wonder who they would cast as Del Boy, Rodney, Raquel, Cassandra, Grandad and uncle Albert....any ideas ?
