It was considered by some to be racist. The Independent Television Authority certainly thought so and the show was cancelled. It’s in a similar vein to Till Death Us Do Part, not surprising since Johnny Speight wrote both of them.I find it very funny!

Oh gosh, I know it was a different time and all but you do occasionally watch an old series and go ‘what on EARTH were they thinking!’

I don’t remember Curry & Chips either.
I wouldn’t actually remember it from the time, it’d have been broadcast after I was in bed!
I don’t know how the cast managed to keep a straight face during filming 
Just as aside I had a look on Amazon. The DVD now costs forty two quid! 
I bought mine about ten years ago, no way was it that much. Just goes to show that some DVDS can become collectors items.

The Likely Lads was ok and got better when it came back in the 70’s.
