Apparently BBC aren't steaming (broardcasting?) Little Britain.

To heck with Tom Baker fans too, apparently.

Thank goodness for DVDs.

Why they do these things is beyond me.

I'm sure there's not a show or film without an actor, grip or production staff accused or jailed for something.

And its most unfair on the rest and the fans, both for enjoyment and royalties, to hide the content.

Usually any legal issues are nothing to do with the production of the film or show also.

Just had 2 blokes on escape to the country.

That troubles me more than what some actor did in his private life decades ago.

Yes, look into complaints, but don't ruin the show for everyone else at the same time.

Ponder land was funny, the couple of EPs I saw. I do hope that's on DVD. I'm not holding my breath for repeats, although now would be the time.

Lost media.

Shameful.

And, with little Britain, from the company that wiped hundreds of tapes then spent money to try to bring them back for dr who fans and others.

Doubly shameful.

There are actually films with far worse in actual scenes or otherwise on set/location.

Apocalypse now, it believe it was?, apparently had real dead bodies and had an actor and 2 kids who weren't meant to be there killed in an accident. But that still available.

The crow, shot it's main actor. Still available.

Apparently people died from radioactive sand after shooting a John Wayne film? But that fine and dandy.

Spiderman 2001, a guy apparently died when the wrestling cage fell on him. No problem.

That's a real scorpion in predator. Bugs in starship troopers too, I believe. Mouse in the abyss, although it was fine.

I believe it was charge of the light brigade? Had horses shot from falling intentionally on trip wires and breaking their bodies.

But the poor actor playing the guy in a dress in crocodile Dundee, gone. I assume they completely cut him out?

All the model work from red dwarf? Can't have that.

I'm just surprised they haven't silenced Weinstein films, if they have? I don't know, I watch eternal DVDs. They're all available for me.

Are power rangers banned? They had heaps of people doing things. Drugs on set, later Samari award slaying, boat killings, sewerside.

PS

Apparently little Britain and come fly with me have already had black face edited. To what extent?? That may be entire characters from both.

Shameful.

Thank goodness for DVDs.

The Mr t lookalike sketch was great.

The come fly with me black guy, a couple from memory, ace.

Also recommend the Prima Donna's sketches. Well done.

I have the keychain with the buttons to say the little Britain catch phrases. Top notch. I should pull that out and check the battery. Probably needs replacing, annoying as it's still sealed.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to go curl up on the couch with a big bowl of dust…

Unfortunately David Walliams has been accused of preying on girls as young as 15 so the Beeb has pulled all his programmes from I Player till its been proved or disproved in court.

You need to do some research OP – everyone has dropped him, his publisher months ago, the theme park that had a deal with him, all his work for other TV companies. It's not the BBC – it is what he has been doing – which is not disputed by him by the way. If they carry on showing his shows the they carry on paying him, and that is not deemed to be acceptable at this time.

How it is all finally interpreted is either "he was within the law, but only just" or "he crossed the line into illegal behaviour." We'll see what happens if / when it goes to court. Since everyone is running from him as fast as they can it is likely there's more revelations to come.
