Should TV repeats of anything made before 2020 be banned?
For being racist.
I've just been watching Challenge channel this evening and unlike modern telly it fails to reflect the well-known fact that half the people in Britain are of African origin and that nearly everyone is in a mixed race relationship.
(But not necessarily mixed gender, of course)

I have notice the same thing from watching tv commercials. Everyone is in a mixed race relationship between a light-skinned person of african descent, and a white person. There seem to be no Chinese people in Britain though, according to the ads.
(I really miss the old days, when people could use makeup and imitate accents and make fun of other countries and their ways, Now you can only laugh at white people, and even that is within strict limits).

There are many older people like me who enjoy the old pre Covid shows. Being alone and unable to see our friends or family, wearing masks on the rare occasions when we venture out is made more bearable when we can see people mixing freely, enjoying a silly comedy or wildlife documentaries brightens our life with a huge innocent sometimes wistful dose of nostalgia.

No, the BBC has an app that gives access to tons of old TV, but they only give it to certain people, employees etc - even though we paid for it for them. (It's like a more powerful IPlayer).

Nearly everyone is NOT in a mixed race relationship. They are a minority and let's keep it that way.
The majority of television is rubbish these days, but there are a few really good movies such as Terminator 2 which I watched tonight made in 1990!
Would you ban that too?
I don't think you've thought this through, Mr Snowflake. Your type are ruining society with this racism nonsense so get a life.

Pre 2020 life has been proven to be intolerant, racist and prejudiced.
Just because those white fellas smiled doesn't mean they were enjoying themselves.
