#StopPressGirl, the next choice to clear out of the TiVo, was preceded by a content warning about language that some viewers might find offensive.

As the opening credits were rolling, my mind was boggling. What on Earth could be offensive about a 1949 British comedy? They are notoriously tame (except for #PassportToPimlico).

I thought that it might be #racism against Scotland, given the presence of #GordonJackson, and indeed there was one comment about Scottish people and one about Chinese.

But it was dwarfed by the #sexism. The male characters, and indeed the premise, were patronizing and chauvinistic to an extent that would have had people of the 1970s bloody annoyed; & there were some derogatory terms for women and their places in society that luckily wouldn't be recognized much today.

So credit to #TalkingPicturesTV for the warning, then. Shame on all of the IMDB reviewers for not spotting this. And a recommendation to give this a miss to everyone else. It only has 2 gags.

New passport arrived. Very pleased with it. Even allows me to visit Britain, in the unlikely event that I ever fancy it. Think I'll stay in Burgundia. Much nicer chaps over here. #PassporttoPimlico #EalingComedy
