You know, those, those are the students w- that will, that will find that they need free speech, and hopefully we can make it easier for them then to f- to find us.
Jan MacVarishPANELIST
Um, I always think it's a little bit like there's a Mitchell and Webb comedy sketch where there's a maths teacher in early September having just gone back to school after the summer holidays, and he's complaining to the headteacher saying, "I just don't understand it.
Jan MacVarishPANELIST
They don't seem to learn anything.
Jan MacVarishPANELIST
They don't seem to remember anything between July and September.

Matthew TaborHOST
Yep.
Matthew TaborHOST

Kevin LieberHOST
11 of them, they, they, they got rid of, okay? They removed them from whatever their, uh, their digital player is, iPlayer or whatever- So I wanted to see if that had any effect on a DVD sale.
Kevin LieberHOST
You know, a DVD that has these banned episodes, and there's only one...
Kevin LieberHOST
Uh, I couldn't figure out what series it was from, but there's only one series, complete series two DVD of that Mitchell and Webb look, and it's 100 bucks-
Matthew TaborHOST

Mitchell and Webb.
MauricioHOST
Mitchell and Webb, yeah.
ChrisHOST
They, they, they've been put onto the BBC iPlayer, but they had some of their sketches cut from the show because they were considered that they hadn't stood the test of time.
ChrisHOST
They were now sort of not politically correct enough to go on the show.
Caimh McDonnellHOST
Well, that's, it's an interesting thing, that, by the way.
Caimh McDonnellHOST
This is a, a good segway because it's kind of been coming up quite a lot, where there is that thing where, um, 'cause this happened this week where Mitchell and Webb bizarrely, uh-
Marc BurrowsGUEST
Yes, it did.
Marc BurrowsGUEST
Yeah
Caimh McDonnellHOST
It's either you're on this side, you're on that side, or, you know, this person is the most worst person in the world or the best person in the world, and how dare you? And one of the things is, like, things like that.
Caimh McDonnellHOST
Like it's possible...
Caimh McDonnellHOST
I'd be fascinated to see Mitchell and Webb go, "Oh, okay.
Caimh McDonnellHOST
I mean, they, we didn't think they were offensive at the time.
Caimh McDonnellHOST
Well, that's, it's an interesting thing that, by the way.
Caimh McDonnellHOST
This is a, a good segue way to go, 'cause it's kind of been coming up quite a lot where there is that thing where, um, 'cause this happened this week where Mitchell and Webb bizarrely, uh-
Mark BurrowsGUEST
Yes, it did.
Mark BurrowsGUEST
Yeah
Caimh McDonnellHOST
It's either you're on this side, you're on that side, or, you know, this person's the most worst person in the world, or you're the best person in the world, and how dare you.

BrooksHOST

BrooksHOST

Andrew MayneHOST
It's worth a watch.
Andrew MayneHOST
You'll look up like Mitchell and Webb, Australia.
Andrew MayneHOST
It's very, very funny.
Andrew MayneHOST
I really, British people have their impression of Australians, which is not too different from ours, but pretty extreme.
Andrew MayneHOST
It's worth a watch.
Andrew MayneHOST
You'll look up like Mitchell and Webb, Australia.
Andrew MayneHOST
It's very, very funny.
Andrew MayneHOST

Adam FlemingHOST
Because if you're targeting something, an audience, you can give them exactly what they want and what they're comfortable with.
Adam FlemingHOST
But then what we're seeing i- in this example from Mitchell and Webb is actually the BBC going in the other direction.
Tim HincksGUEST
The fact is the, the nature of offense and how offense is articulated has changed and, and, and the, and the biggest revolution of, of course, has been the internet.
Tim HincksGUEST
So I, I...
Tim HincksGUEST
It tends to be the ones that shout the loudest.
Tim HincksGUEST
You've covered this on your show many times, you know, the notion of f- of not, not the number of voices but how loud those voices are.
Tim HincksGUEST
And, and, you know, the Mitchell and Webb example, you know, it's complicated, that example.
Tim HincksGUEST
'Cause on one level you could argue this, that those sketches were, were parodying, um, racism, you know, were, were actually critical of racism, if I can put it that way.
