Peep Show blackface scene removed from Netflix - but not Channel 4

quote:

Channel 4 told Sky News: "We do not believe that erasing our creative history is a quick fix for the issues affecting our society today."

The moment appears in the season two episode Dance Class, during a bedroom scene featuring Jez and his girlfriend Nancy, played by Robert Webb and Rachel Blanchard respectively.




quote:

In the scene, Jez says: "It just feels almost wrong. Are you sure this isn't racist?"

But the scene when he knowingly eats a cooked dog’s leg is totally okay.

frick Netflix for defacing the best comedy of all time. If they thought that scene was bad they would probably faint watching this one. LINK It's from That Mitchell and Webb Look.

omg how dare they mess with Peep Show!

I’m so mad it’s not available on US DVD. I would totally buy it in a heartbeat.

I wonder if they’ll mess with the episode where Daryl is a racist that episode is one of the best in the show.

Peep show is one the best comedy series ever made, it’s golden

Sad that Netflix feels the need to keep censoring things on our behalf

I'm not a racist, but....

This type of humor stopped being funny. This was the media conglomerates way of sidestepping the public's eroding acceptance of race-based humor to keep their formulaic comedy going because they aren't actually creative. If they are not willing to change their methodology given new sensibilities, their businesses will go extinct.
