I love The Day Today but it's a poor example of the point you are trying to make
'They' (presumably you disagree with this group) have taken down some old comedy shows due to perceived bad taste such as unironic black-face.
One can argue that it is all a bit of an over-reaction but it is nothing new. Media companies have been quietly retiring troubling material for years and mostly nobody has noticed. Perhaps our grandparents miss the Black & White Minstrels shows of the Seventies - that doesn't make that content any less gruesome (by today's standards).
The sad thing about this current take-down is that the right get to use it to distract from the real issue - real lived racism which pervades society. Statues and TV shows are small beer, the movement is about trying to get some equality.
Attitudes Night is making the point that the cultural norms of the past are disturbing or grotesque - it is out and out satire. Come Fly With Me is just black face, lazy, stereotype and offensive to the people it sends up. TV Executives/Streaming Services can tell the difference.
I'm guessing you are not campaigning for the return of Bernard Manning on TV or for Jim Davison's Chalky White routine.
