Curry and Chips

Post by colonel »

Absolute TV hell here- the legendary Curry And Chips. Spike Milligan blacked up as an Irish Pakistani..a theme tune which alone would get the show banned now..language you'll never hear on TV again- and wouldn't have wanted to then.

Banned after three episodes in 1970- not exactly PC time then- and totally unproduceable now.

This is probably the worst TV programme ever made.

Brilliant!

I wasn't sure I'd like this (missed it first time round), but you have made a convert here.

Thanks for the link.

I'm not trying to make converts here, Steve!

The insane thing here is that Milligan blacked up SEVEN YEARS LATER in 1977 for BBC's The Melting Pot. Banned after one episode in this case, and which might have lead to the cancellation of the Black And White Minstrel Show a year later.
