    In fairness to John Sullivan, in the episode cash and curry when del boy and Rodney go to the Indian restaurant to find the fake owner the Indian host actually says about the Caucasian race "I dont know they all look alike to me" as a previous poster mentioned! The show took the mick out of every race, gender and class so I don't think it was discriminating towards one in particular...


    Oh sure, OFAH wasn't racist or anything. I just mean that the Indian aspect would have been acknowledged in OFAH and some jokes would have been made on the situation. Rock and Chips literally doesn't notice the racial and cultural difference despite it being 1960s Peckham.

    'It Ain't Half Hot, Mum!'

    It was full of homophobia.

    But that is only because most people have got over the outrage of the original.

    If there was no original and it was written today do you think it would work?

    there was no outrage with the producers, there was scripted outrage in the musical because that's what it's about.

    Series 1 was so much better than series 2 :(




    They made a filum a while back with the same name.

    Other than that it bore no relation whatsoever to the series.

    Re Rising Damp there was a documentary about it on ITV 3 last night. Love the series but the 1980 spinoff movie was awful. No Richard Beckinsale as he had died the previous year. The setting was moved to London, plus the theme song is one of the worst in film history.
    It was all recycled jokes from the series as well.
    Even the best of sitcoms struggled in the film format.

    The Likely Lads
    Love Thy Neighbour
    Man About The House
    On The Buses x 3

    all had good film spin-offs.

    Brass Eye.

    I don't see why not. It was controversial at the time.
