'So BBC decisions are made by persons whose main concern is not losing their jobs. That’s why they’re so cowardly and gutless and contemptible'
Photo: FilmMagic A day after the BBC-owned streaming service UKTV removed an episode of Fawlty Towers due to the presence of “racial slurs,” the episode has been reinstated again after significant criticism from the show’s star John Cleese. Per Variety, “The Germans” episode from season one was removed due to the service reappraising its catalog in light of the international Black Lives Matter movement.
In a separate interview with The Age, Cleese said that the offending character — a senile veteran of an unspecified war who lives at the hotel — should not be taken seriously in 2020. “The Major was an old fossil left over from decades before. We were not supporting his views, we were making fun of them,” he explained.
