I believe a disclaimer is enough. Those programs were recorded in a different era and that’s that IMHO.

In a similar vein, when I listen to Round the Horne, Beyond Our Ken and others I often think "Blimey they's never get away with that these days..."

It would be a real shame to bury them, a disclaimer would be my preference too.

Thanks for the heads-up on that D, downloading the programme now...

Influential comedy producer John Lloyd speaks to Roger Bolton about radio satire, as one of his earliest programmes comes under scrutiny from listeners.

When Radio 4 Extra rebroadcast a 1976 edition of the satirical programme News Huddlines, listeners were taken back to the days of Wilson, Callaghan and the rising star Margaret Thatcher. They were also exposed to an era with very different sensibilities about matters of race, gender and sexuality - and some listeners took offence. So should old comedy, with material many would consider racist and sexist by today's standard, ever be heard again? Roger discusses with John Lloyd and Radio 4 Extra's Head of Planning and Scheduling, Tony Pilgrim.

Any thoughts on this? I have to admit a fondness for many past comedy shows that may contain material that I now Cringe at.

But should they be never aired/censored/ or just played with Disclaimers?

I have mixed feelings but lean more towards the Disclaimer than to have shows buried.
