# I can't remember that.
But then again I haven't seen the Young ones for over 20 years.

Please remind me what was in it that was racist in it.

like Johnny Speight before them, they were being ironical.

and the policeman jumpped out on the prize goving man, calling him a rasta chocolate dropp and accusing him of burning whiteman electriciy when he rung the door bell.

it was very funny at the time, and looking back showed the state of thatchers britain at the time.

# I just had a look on the Wikipedia
And it doesn't mention racism - it mentions that the episodes were originally 35 mins each and were edited for length, clearance issues meant that some of the songs were edited out and the subliminal flashes were later edited out of season 2, but nothing about racism...considering one of the people who wrote it was Ben Elton, it'd be extremely surprised to find racist jokes in there...

# Yes: despite being a cunt
He's not a racist cunt.

Thanks to the memory jogging above, I now seem to remember jokes about the police being stupid and racist, by putting racist (but obviously stupid) words in their mouths.
