Product Information

The embarrassingly racist comments of the day on both sides were hilariously near the knuckle in those days and aren't spoken these days This wonderfully wicked set of clichés brings back fond memories of its protagonists and is a delight to own, even if it is just to embarrass my grandchildren!

The impression I got was that the underlying commentry is that the times were changing and the behaviour of the time from ANY race was wrong and it simply doesn't get anyone anywhere. Pro-white socialist Eddie Booth is disgusted when a black couple move in next door - but far worse than his skin colour, Bill Reynolds is Conservative. he proved this by applying this to the word "paper" saying after a coupla weeks we'd see it as a swear word!

Eddie Booth ( Jack Smethurst), a white, working-class socialist is dismayed when Bill ( Rudolph Walker), a black, educated Conservative moves in next door with his wife Barbie ( Nina Baden-Semper). The 70's sitcom smash that explored the culture clash between black and white neighbours Bill Reynolds and Eddie Booth. Simply this IS racist but it's reputation is constantly wheeled out by the do-gooders completely out of context.com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. If you look at another TV show of that period, Rising Damp, it also portrays Leonard Rosseter's character, Mr Rigsby, as ignorant more than racist.

To those born in the mid 60's like me, the first nostalgia trip is when you play an episode and the old Thames television logo appears.

So, these comedies, in my view, aren't "racist", but rather portray ignorant white characters who are gotten the better of because of their racism and ignorance. Viewing this series with modern sensibilities can make for a bit of a culture shock and I found myself wincing a little, shocked at the racist epithets casually spoken by the white protagonist, Eddie Booth. Series 6 episodes are: 'Famous Crimes', 'The Lady and the Tramp', 'Protection of the Law', 'The Opinion Poll', 'Manchester.
