YMMV / The Burkiss Way

Go To

  • Values Dissonance: Burkiss is one of those shows periodically repeated on BBC Radio Four Extra (the BBC's nostalgia channel for the spoken word and radio comedy), which have to be prefaced by an advisory warning that aspects of the humour, while viewed as okay in their day, might not fly by modern standards of what is acceptable as comedy. As with many other archive comedy shows, the BBC initially proposed editing out unacceptable or potentially offensive humour by early 21st century standards; but fans objected so much to perceived censorship that this was quietly dropped.
