Somewhat curiously, given that much broadcast telly these days is repeats, some going back decades, IAHHM seems to have been a notable omission.
Time to put that right?

From what I saw last night, IAHHM hasn't been repeated for some time due to it's political incorrectness or possible racist overtones. Michael Bates 'blacked up' as Rangi Ram, the Indian bearer character, all the more ironic because the actor was Anglo Indian...

Yes, the snowflake generation are missing out on some great material.
Still, just so long as they've got their "safe space".

That and Windsor describing the concert party as "a load of poofs" Its just too un-PC these days.

Michael Bates was a consummate actor with an extensive back catalogue, he is possibly the ONLY actor that could have played the part in IAHHM.

A Windsor Davies alarm clock would be a fine thing.

One of the Michael Bates offerings when I was somewhat younger.
But back on topic
and of course his other trademark 'Oh dear, how sad, never mind' is now firmly etched in the English vocabulary.

Well it should not be, too many snowflakes nestling in cotton wool these days, oh for the good old days when a spade was a spade
