After starting the Reg Varney thread it got me to thinking about how good TV was when we only had 3 channels, then 4 and on to 5

Not sure about that one, as to me it seems to be about how someone as sexist/racist as Alf is so out of touch (even back then)

Fawlty Towers....e.g.:
The Major: Strange creatures, women. I knew one once... striking-looking girl... tall, you know... father was a banker.
Basil: Really?
The Major: Don't remember the name of the bank.
Basil: Nevermind.
The Major: I must have been rather keen on her because I took her to see... India!
Basil: India?
The Major: At the Oval... fine match, marvellous finish... now, Surrey had to get thirty-three in about half an hour... she went off to powder her... powder her hands or something... women... er... never came back.
Basil: What a shame.
The Major: And the strange thing was... throughout the morning she kept referring to the Indians as niggers. "No no no," I said, "the niggers are the West Indians. These people are wogs." "No, no," she said. "All cricketers are niggers."
Basil: They do get awfully confused, don't they? They're not thinkers. I see it with Sybil everyday.
The Major: I do wish I could remember her name. She's still got my wallet.
Basil: As I was saying, no capacity for logical thought.
The Major: Who?
Basil: Women.
The Major: Oh yes, yes... I thought you meant Indians.

Oh yes very PC was Farty Owles........never get away with that script today. .........Great TV ....liked the episode with the Germans best. :y :y :y

there was some terrible garbage on telly in the 70's - only thing that stands up is Rising Damp - and thats because of the superb acting by the late, great Leonard Rossiter
love thy neighbour - so the joke is the neighbours are black...err...thats it - oh - except we'll invent a dozen new words each episode so white kids have something to call the black kid at school
shameful and depressing - glad we've let that garbage rot in the 70's

The Sweeney is the worst drama type i can remember for words they used. I recall when Channel 5 started the re-ran the series from the beginning and it raised an eyebrow lol

Not sure about that one, as to me it seems to be about how someone as sexist/racist as Alf is so out of touch (even back then)
No offence but even back then i think that was the point. Warren Mitchell played the cliche' to a tee.
