Can you imagine the amount of complaints if some of the original episodes aired today?

Different times and while funny, the landscape has changed.
I think sitcoms like Faulty Towers would be all the poorer for it.

There would be outrage at the sign at the start reading Flowery Tw@ts before any actual scenes had been shown.
