marshman 7,756 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 @tomo. Also the show got a lot of critism for having a white man blacked up to play an Indian . Untill someone pointed out that micheal bates was born in India and spoke fluent Indian lol !! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spade 224 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 A mate of mine was at university and in one of his lectures they had to watch an episode of It Ain't Half Hot Mum and discuss the "racist" element of it. He sat laughing throughout the programme and was given a bollocking for finding it funny. On a better note you may or may not know that on ITV3 late afternoon they repeat the likes of George & Mildred, Man About The House, Terry & June, On The Buses etc. My kids love them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
