No, not yet but it was advertized for BBC America so I might see it soon. Over here, I think white comedians could never get away with puts downs of other races but minority comedians make fun of whites all the time. Gay humor now is more intended to make fun of homophobes rather than gays themselves. 20 years ago, much more open season on everyone but now people are so sensitive. One radio DJ lost his job due to "racist" comments which he apologized for several times but still got canned. The guy was always edgey but suddenly this was too far even though he was repeating language used by rappers who are immune since they are black. I felt it was unfair since others do similar humor & they are not in trouble (yet).

My sister & I watched Benny Hill when we were young & when my mother saw it, she banned it!
