I posted this in September 2022, when I came across this today, I was incensed again. This is just so stupid. I am still annoyed by this nonsense.

Classic 1980s sitcom Hi-de-Hi! has been slapped with a new trigger warning. Viewers who choose to watch the show will now be met with a message warning of ‘language and attitudes of the era that may offend.’ Other classic shows such as ‘Allo ‘All, One Foot in the Grave and Fawlty Towers have been given similar warning. Speaking to comedian Luke Stephens Ian Collins criticised the decision to place a trigger warning on the classic British comedies. “We’ve arrived in the world of absolutely topsy-turvy nonsense, good lord.”
