just watching "The Frogs Legacy" for the Nth time so I more or less know every line. So at the wedding, Boycie has a go at the Trotters' present.....
Boycie: "He probably gave them that old crockery he bought at the Chinese auction"
Del: "How dare you..."
Boycie: "Well I wouldn't put it past you.."
*1 Rodney: "It that true? did our dinner service come from the Chinese takeaway?"
Del: "No I swear..."
Rodney: "...well those plates had an awful lot of Pandas and pagodas on them..."
Del: "..OK they did ...etc
Anyway Rodney's line marked *1 was cut, why? How is that in anyway offensive and even if it was why is comedy being butchered like this?

I often think of repeats as giving someone their first viewing, so I get TTT's pov. For those of us who have seen the programmes from the very off it can feel a bit like being cheated and enforces the dreaded "woke" word.

barry, "There are a lot of cuts in these repeats to squish the adverts in. There were no advert breaks in the original series " - yes but chopping the guts out of a vital scene just kills the scene. Plenty of other places for cuts. This is TROB butchery, can they not accept that these programs are "of there time" - in fact I have seen some warnings to that effect on other programs.
