Started watching the first series again yesterday and I think that it's still just as funny as ever.
Lot's of clueless horny ignorant teens just doing what we all did at that age, be a complete dick.
But I think it would suffer from the cancel culture today and definitely wouldn't get made, I mean can you imagine the outrage? |

Mighty fine tele that will stand the test of time. Even my teen recognises the same patterns from them to his mates now so it's also amazing cross-generational tele.
I don't see anyway it wouldn't get made today. It isn't offensive, it isn't laying in to any particular group and while the lads say things that are 'laddish', it's the lad's themselves that are the object of fun and ridicule. |

When I was in uni a student wrote a paper on only fools and horses... everyone told her it was hilarious and to me it still is.
It completely triggered her within the first 5 mins of episode 1 and she refused to watch any more. |

Any particular bits you remember that would cause outrage? I’ve seen it but not well enough to remember it super well
Little Britain though. Jeeeeeeez. Couldn’t make that today. |

No and I think Walliams and Lucas openly apologised. |

I was shocked when made, that it actually was acceptable.
I'm interested in what people think wouldn't be tolerated? |

"If you like Inbetweeners try Friday Night Dinner 
Epic! 
Friday Night Dinner is amazing!
Would love to have Jim as a next door neighbour "
I have a work colleague called ‘Jacqui’ - the urge gets better of me at times when I see her in the morning  |

To my knowledge this was one of the last great British sitcoms? I’m not aware of any recent great sitcom being made, I can only think of Stath let’s flats which was good. This is probably due to cancel culture etc |

The cast have said in interviews they don't think it'd be made today.
They’re in the industry, they know producers, writers, directors other actors etc. They’ve been in meetings and know the conversations people are having and they seem to believe the casual homophobia and sexism would be a problem now.
Its a pretty good representation of teenagers though. I know lots that sounds exactly like them!  |

Never watched it, not having a telly, but one night the sound came through on my analogue cordless headphones channel, presumably from a near neighbour.
I wondered what the hell I was listening to and some years later I found out. |
