One of the most controversial sit-coms ever made, watch any episode and it doesn't take long to see why. Racial insults fly back and forth right from the off, and even in the early seventies this was shocking stuff.
Watching it, it soon becomes clear that white man Eddie always ends up looking the fool.
Even so, some people felt uncomfortable with the racist language and today, like Mind Your Language and Till Death Us Do Part, it remains banished from British TV screens (but ironically, not African ones, where they can't get enough of it).
Not for the politically correct.moreless
Show Summary
EDIT
Eddie Booth is a working class Englishman who didn't think he was racist until a black couple moved in next door!
Bill & Barbie Reynolds are originally from the West Indies & move in next to Eddie & his wife Joan.
The show was written with the idea of making race relations more harmonious by showing people how to laugh at themselves & their actions.
Eddie is a big talker, but usually backs down when Joan or Bill think he's gone too far.
