"I enjoyed this series when it was originally broadcast. As there is no likelihood of it being broadcast again,I bought The box?box set and have just finished it.It is very funny,almost as good as Dads Army.It does have problems. Michael Bates,blacked up,as the bearer, makes it unacceptable for broadcastimg,as does the homophobic rants by the Sergeant Major. Furthermore it has to be said that many of the Indian characters are drawn in an unsympathetic light....."
💡 Did You Know?
Unlike contemporaneous 1970s sitcoms such as Dad's Army (1968), Porridge (1974) and The Good Life (1975), the BBC does not show repeats of It Ain't Half Hot Mum, allegedly due to its politically incorrect content, which is regarded as badly dated. Before his death, writer Jimmy Perry criticized this, saying the series represents "the historical truth" and helps people understand an important part of history and the changes which came about. He said the BBC was "taking the cowardly way out" by not showing it.
