Take that as bad then you've conformed to the PC brigade. What was right in those day was right, you shouldn't or can't question them now. Just that fact you now think it's a little close to the bone and that you can't take it in context means just that. I say you because of the way you mentioned it 'leeeeetle', it was emphasized which 'could' mean you object.

In fact I'd rather be back in that era than the big bro, pc, lemming/sheep society of today.

"Blacks, they all look the same" sounds sooo bad today, but was soo right then, it just not out of context of those times.

Am I now a racist?? lol.

The series was pure class and well done BBC for letting it go out on a high.
