Sky have started including terms like "includes outdated language" and Sky cinema says "includes outdated opinions" sometimes. I hope they don't start doing this with SW. Films which have warnings include Gone with the Wind, Flash Gordon and Dumbo..

Goodness know what will happen if the show Captain Pugwash

 

[captain clutterbuck]

I think the story around Captain Pugwash was embellished over the years saw a documentary film about legendary shows that allegedly beat the censor and on that they said the risque dialogue never appeared and that it was all conjured up by someone and then exaggerated over the years. Who knows without watching the show and probably a lot of the material has been lost.

Captain Pugwash creator traumatised by urban myths about rude character names

The daughter of the late John Ryan said the inaccurate claims the children's TV show had smutty names had a 'bad effect' on him

Apparently one film with the outdated language/opinions warning was from 2019!

Last of The Summer wine - warning contains gratuitous domestic violence (if you're Compo or Wally)
contains outdated racist stereotypes (Auntie Wainwright being a tight Yorkshire person)

And don't forget Compo's sexism calling Foggy things like Gladys and Petunia

...Danger to children, trying to re-enact getting thrown into the river like Compo did!

Any number of episodes would need "Warning don't try this at home"

What's the episode with Clegg pulling his eyes back when someone asked about Entwistle?

I remember that Onslow but not the name of the episode.

It was when Howard was locked in by an alarm that went off if he tried to sneak out ! Cleggy said to Truly "Who do we know thats good with electronics?" Thats when he did the slanty eyes thing !

Enjoy the times & freedoms we had, it's going to be bland & miserable for the next generation. Summer wine & Only fools were & are top shows.

 

[WellyMan]

Just watched an episode which used the very un-PC phrase of a "fat ATS bird".

 

[Graham]

The Summer wine postie had the "largest round", as Cleggy could see. It also reminds me of the National Express song in which a similar reference is made about the conductress! Vote with your feet. As I've mentioned before, ditch Sky! Buy you favourite box sets.

I only keep SKY for the sports. I'm a huge cricket fan.I'd watch kids and their dogs in the local park if they are cricketing
