BBC Removes 11 'Mitchell and Webb' Sketches from iPlayer

The BBC has removed eleven sketches from the popular comedy series 'That Mitchell and Webb Look' that are now available on BBC iPlayer. The decision was made as the broadcaster celebrated the show's 20th anniversary by re-releasing it online.

Reports indicate that the omissions include sketches featuring blackface, reflecting a growing trend within the media to re-evaluate and remove content that may be considered offensive or problematic by contemporary standards. A BBC spokesperson stated that the broadcaster included "the ones that still work today and not the ones that don't."
