That is brilliant, it was a favourite program of mine back in the day, but will it be cut to shreds, or will they just use the 'beep' a lot, I say that because last night in a Parkinson show from 1978 the word "Jap" was beeped out, and it wasn't being used in a derogatory way, it was just being used as a shortened version of Japanese.

A reminder of the time when people went out to working men's clubs etc to socialise and enjoy themselves and seeing good acts.

Unlike today, where many now prefer to stay at home with cheap cans of lager or a bottle of plonk and watch crap reality shows on television while keep glancing at a block of plastic!

Like many other things of the past, great times that sadly will never be repeated!

Will be interesting to see how much is cut out in order to not upset the newcomers and the do gooders.

Especially, contributions from Bernard Manning!

Exactly,,, but will he be cut out or just beeped out, when they show 'Till Death Do Us Part' they leave the offensive content in it, they just beep it out, and looking back there is a lot of stuff in 'Till Death Us Do Part' that I personally find very 'Offensive'.

Basil

Over the years I have only seen a few clips from the show on YooTube, and looking now there are episodes available, but they could be removed anytime if ITV decided to do that, and make a complaint to YouTube
