It Ain't Half Hot Mum will never be screened again as BBC deem it too racist for modern society.(DailyMail).BBC bosses have decided to not bring back a controversial comedy series because they fear it is too racist. It Ain't Half Hot Mum was in the process of being brought back to TV screens but it will now never be seen again. After a review of the series was carried out by editors at the Beeb, they agreed that the show was very much out of touch with today's society.It Ain't Half Hot Mum was a popular show when it was broadcast between 1974 and 1981. It attracted audiences of around 15 million at its peak, but it controversially made jokes about the cultural differences between the Indian, Burmese and Japanese. It was put on a short list by the BBC as a TV show that could be possibly be repeated as a rerun, but it has since been removed. A TV source told the Daily Express: 'The word has gone out the series of It Ain’t Half Hot Mum will never be shown in the future on the channel. 'The censors feel the undertone of racism and catty remarks about different races and religions has no place on BBC channels.' They added: 'When the series was aired in the Seventies it was a different time, and the notions and sympathies of modern cultural Britain were a long way away.Hmmmm........Where has The Good Old British Empire gone to""You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks, and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours." ~ General Sir Charles Napier.Read the full story here.
