Little Britain sketch racist and outdated, Ofcom research says
A Little Britain sketch has been deemed "explicitly racist and outdated", with some viewers surprised it is still available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
TV watchdog Ofcom showed people a number of clips as part of a study into views on potentially offensive content...
Polling company Ipsos questioned 115 people on Ofcom's behalf for the research.
The most interesting aspect is that the BBC and presumably Ofcom refer to this activity as research, as if the participants had no idea what the approved answer might be. May as well ask around the pubs on a Friday night.
Another interesting aspect is that Ofcom clearly sees itself as the official UK censor, but we knew that.

115? As wokeism goes that's a typically extensive sample from which to draw the desired conclusions. Maybe they should have included me but my sense of humour might have upset the applecart.
Did Ofcom ask the 115 worthies whether the massively disproportionate number of black and Asian people on the BBC was in any way racist?
Jannie - is is typically extensive, maybe they ran out of people prepared to watch the clips.
Sam - or the number in TV ads.
Ofcom is the Beeboidery...
Most of the people there are ex BBC, and the whole issue is a joke and well worth avoiding at all costs!
Admittedly, I've never seen the stuff because we haven't watched any of their drivel for years...
Scrobs - that's my impression, it's there to enforce the BBC outlook.
