"Censorship row as BBC cuts bad language from classic Fawlty Towers episode"

From The Daily Mail:

It is the episode of Fawlty Towers best remembered for the line ‘Don’t mention the war’ and John Cleese’s silly walk when impersonating Hitler.

The references have proved controversial before, but when 'The Germans' was repeated on BBC2 on Sunday evening it wasn’t our European neighbours that the corporation was worried about offending. Instead, the episode was edited to omit bad language – only for some viewers to then complain that the BBC was ‘airbrushing history’...

Regular viewer Major Gowen told The Mail about his wife's reaction: "The strange thing was, throughout the morning she kept referring to the BBC as bastards. 'No, no, no,' I said, 'Basil Fawlty was a bastard. The BBC are cunts'."
