BBC removes blackface sketches from Mitchell and Webb comedy show

BBC removes blackface sketches from 'That Mitchell and Webb Look'

1 Sep 21 · 3d ago · 2 articles · 1 post · 7 comments · 2 sources · development 1 of 1

The BBC cut episodes of the satirical comedy series that contained blackface sketches. According to reports, the sketches were designed to mock racism and show the characters using blackface as stupid or ignorant.

“In the future are we going to through the archives and delete every single episode that contains jokes that become deemed unacceptable? A lot of the stuff from that era makes me cringe, some of it was worse than others but I've never thought deleting it was the answer.”
