Manning was also on ITVs The Comedians - basically a stand-up show. Only Charlie Williams was allowed to do 'darkie' material.

Even I, as a ten year old, twigged that Manning was too low-brow for the BBC.

"Too many Jews for my liking" was a line in the original version of Love In A Void. But they also walked off stage in response to sieg heiling skinheads.
Christ. I knew they were anti-Nazi, but I only knew about the swastikas.

I caught a bit of W&SSC on Talking Pictures TV. If anyone tries to tell you that any '70s TV was better than what we have now... :roll:

Farage mentioned Marigold from In Sickness And In Health as part of his BBC bashing.

Does he mean Winston? Only the incredibly racist and homophobic Alf Garnett referred to him as Marigold... well, Alf and other racist homophobes.

In the same speech Farage produces a letter from an anonymous Jewish pupil from his school saying what a great bloke he was and not at all racist.

Dear Sir, Nigel can't do PE today because he has the bellyache. Signed- Nigel's mum.
He also had an epic rant at a R4 Today presenter (Emma Barnet?) for asking impertinent questions. What a snowflake.

Indeed, the "low-grade" (a favourite phrase of his) presenter.
