Stick them all in a locked room with every famous white actors performance of Othello - you know those famous and evil racists like Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir John Gielgud, Orson Welles, Richard Burton, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sir Patrick Stewart etc.
Of failing that just kill them off with an Al Jolson film or the Black and White Minstrels!

Will they ban Rap music then which uses the N-word in every single song?
Nah thought not.
Will real soldiers have to play soldiers, murderers play murderers, aliens play aliens, terrorists play terrorists etc, etc?

Well for anyone who didn't know on That's TV (Freeview 7 here) Benny Hill is back on telly since ITV sacked the comedian due to the first stirrings of PC.
He was the world's best known comedian and was shown in 140 counties - the show won numerous awards.

I loved Benny Hill, one of the great comedians of this country along with other oldies.

And Norman Wisdom...he was so inoffensive, and apparently the same off-screen as on, with his Mr Grimsdale impersonations.

Norman Wisdom was my all time favourite, with Benny Hill.
Others like Morecambe and Wise, Tommy Cooper, Eric Sykes, Tony Hancock abit early for me, the Carry On actor's, and many more. These were true comedians, who entertained without politics or swearing, just pure silliness, fun and laughter, which was great!

Humour has changed hasn't it.
Out of the modern day funny men, I love John Bishop and Peter Kay.

Yes it has, but Peter Kay and Lee Evans are great. Lee has retired from showbiz now, but still have re-runs on Sky at times.

There are still many great comedians around (Sean Lock RIP was one) but they have to be so careful with their material in case it 'offends' some minority group or other and their career immediately goes down the toilet from a witch-hunt.
Cancel culture has ruined comedy to a large extent.
I have watched a few episodes of Benny this week and it's always the blokes being made to look like fools around the girls and it's still as funny as hell.
Jackie Wright and Bob Todd make me laugh before they even do anything!

It's called acting FFS.
