It Ain't Half Hot Mum

Unlike contemporaneous 1970s sitcoms such as Dad's Army, Porridge and The Good Life, the BBC does not show repeats of It Ain't Half Hot Mum, allegedly due to its politically incorrect content, which is regarded as badly dated. Before his death, writer Jimmy Perry criticised this, saying the series represents "the historical truth" and helps people understand an important part of history and the changes which came about. He said the BBC was "taking the cowardly way out" by not showing it.

It's often quite obvious that John Clegg, as Gunner Graham, is miming his playing of the piano.
