A complaint has been made that Eamonn Holmes used to word 'uppity' when describing the Duchess of Sussex episode at Wimbledon and now ITV have banned the word! Who knew it was racist? I didn't and obviously neither did Eamonn..

the word was used in England 200 years before it was used in America by somebody to describe a black person if Holmes had used it to describe a white person nobody would have complained. But he didn't.

From the article.
//According to sources at ITV, Holmes is now fully aware of the word’s meaning and has promised not to use it again. And the network has gone even further – banning the use of the word completely.//
So what would they do if Eamonn or anyone else uses the word, is it a punishable offence?

Ideas above their station perhaps?
jourdain2 I do remember these programmes, but by 1963 I was only interested in Rock'n Roll so these programmes held no appeal for me. I do remember programmes like Love Thy Neighbour and probably laughed along with everyone else, and it's quite shocking what we classed as entertainment back then. Just checked up on Millicent Martin and she is still living, now in her eighties. I wonder what she would think now if she were to watch those clips?
