ITV ridiculed after giving iconic 70s comedy trigger warning – claiming its classic humour may offend
ITV slapped 1970s comedy George & Mildred with a woke warning — saying its classic humour may offend.
The broadcaster was last night ridiculed for the latest example of over-protecting sensitive viewers.
In one 1978 episode hit with a notice on streaming platform ITVX, Mildred, played by Yootha Joyce, tries to get their dog Truffles to mate.
The long-suffering housewife wanted it to have “everything in life that I’ve never had”.
Later in a vet’s waiting room, her downtrodden husband George, played by Brian Murphy, discusses their dog’s lack of interest in sex.
To which his wife replies: “You don’t have to describe it to me.”
George then says they should have brought Truffles with them.
Mildred says it would have had to fight off the large Irish wolfhound on the floor next to them.
And much to her delight, its owner strokes the dog and says: “Oh no, he’s well past that, aren’t you George?”
ITVX’s warning that it contains “classic British humour from a bygone era” was met with disbelief.
Free Speech Union founder Toby Young fumed: “George and Mildred? Really? What’s next?
“The Magic Roundabout on the grounds that viewers with hyperactivity disorder may find the character of Zebedee triggering?”
George & Mildred, which ran from 1976 to 1979, was watched by up to 18million viewers.
Yootha died in 1980 aged 53 while Brian passed away last month at 92.
The same bygone era warning also appears on multiple episodes of Carry On star Sid James’ sitcom Bless This House.
ITV was previously criticised for warning that Midsomer Murders contained “witchcraft”.
ITVX was asked to comment.

Police forced to knock back dozens of cops over bad taste tattoos including ‘sex slave’
WANNABE cops were knocked back for a string of bad taste tattoos including one of “sex slave” and one of the word “stab”.
A total of 25 hopefuls were unsuccessful last year due to offensive ink which went against official policy.
The force – which is trying to rebrand itself as non-sexist – revealed full details of the crass images following a freedom of information request by the Scottish Sun.
Among the dodgy daubings were a tattoo of a “nun holding (a) firearm” while another had an image of a “decapitated geisha head gagged with a rope”.
Another piece of offending bodyart showed a “female with blood pouring from eyes and mouth”, while another aspiring officer was knocked back for a tatt depicting the “rear aspect of female in underwear”.
The ban list included further tattoos of “naked images of females”, “images of criminal violence and gun” as well as an “image of drugs”.
Another applicant had “four horsemen of the apocalypse trampling the downtrodden” while one had “images of skulls and grim reaper’ with scythe” inked.
Images of man being hanged and a person on fire also ended the dreams of applicants hoping to serve as bobbies on the beat.
Tattoos also showed “death and violence” as well as a range of weapons, including various guns and blades.
Police Scotland revealed a record number of 25 rejects last year, compared to 13 refusals in 2023 and 23 in 2022.
The force said it had pictures of the offensive images, but refused to disclose them because they might identify applicants.
David Kennedy of the Scottish Police Federation said: “I think they are very liberal with the cast majority of tattoos that they let in.
“But they’ve got a policy in place and certain types of tattoos aren’t allowed. They’ve obviously got standards.
“It might not be suitable for a police officer to be showing certain kinds of tattoos. Some might have to pay for a cover up to get into organisation.”
Rules around tattoos were relaxed in 2015 to attract new recruits.
But officers shouldn’t have any that could cause offence or be considered inflammatory, rude, lewd, crude, racist, sexist, sectarian, homophobic, violent or intimidating.
Uniform and appearance standards say they shouldn’t “undermine the dignity and authority of the office of constable” or indicate “unacceptable attitudes” or links to controversial groups.
Officers are also not permitted to have tattoos on their face.
Applicants have to submit photographs which are then reviewed by recruitment officers and top brass.
Candidates are also given the option to have images “altered” if they are successful in the remainder of the recruitment process.
Campaigner Rick Stevens, former president of the Tattoo and Piercing Industry Union, said: “It comes back to the whole thing of judging art.
“What someone might find offensive, someone else might just find funny.
“Things have changed. But it can be an issue if you’re going to be in public life or a public figure.”
Police Scotland was approached for comment.
Lags at run-down jail given 7 MINUTE time limit to use the toilet – and are struggling to beat the clock
INMATES at a run-down jail have been given a seven-minute time limit for the loo — and are struggling to beat the clock.
The rule aims to cut huge queues that build up as many of its cells have no toilets.
It was introduced as a temporary measure at HMP Isle of Wight but has since become permanent.
A source revealed many lags at the Category B jail struggled to do their business in the time allocated.
They said: “When prisoners are old, or have mobility issues, and they need to use the toilet and have a wash, brush their teeth or something else, that time goes by very quickly.”
The prison, also known as HMP Albany, opened in 1967.
Ex-inmates include Moors murderer Ian Brady.
It is now seen as a liability because of how derelict some wings have become.
Lags are allowed a maximum of five trips to the bathroom each night if they do not have an en-suite loo, like most other cells across the country.
They must use an electronic keypad to access the facilities, so guards know who is going and when.
Officers are said to consider exemptions on a case-by-case basis.
Muslim inmates are allowed 12 minutes in the bathroom to perform washing rituals during Ramadan.
Justice minister Sir Nic Dakin said: “It is correct the in-cell facilities at HMP Isle of Wight are not on a par with newer-built prisons.
“This does mean that some cells on the Albany site do not have any in-cell toiletry or washing facilities.
“However, alternative provisions are provided.
“Feedback from prisoners on these facilities is always welcomed.”
Stephen Graham accused of leaving female go-kart track worker in tears in furious outburst weeks after touchline rant
ACTOR Stephen Graham has been accused of reducing a female go-kart worker to tears in another furious outburst.
It comes after The Sun revealed he launched a foul-mouth rant at a football ref.
The latest incident saw Graham, 51, kick off a day after the airing of his new series, where he plays a hardman boxer.
He was watching his 18-year-old son and pals when he was accused of screaming at a marshal who ordered drivers off the track over safety concerns.
She was so shaken up that bosses logged an incident report last month at the TeamSport Go Karting ring in Leicester.
A source said: “Stephen should have enjoyed a nice day watching his son and his mates karting.
“But when they were told to get off the track, he started shouting at the young staff member.
“He got in her face screaming at her.”
When a senior female worker tried to calm the situation, witnesses say he shouted at her, too.
A source added: “He was just as horrific with her.”
The Peaky Blinders star earlier joked with an employee who said he looked like Stephen Graham.
It comes after we revealed he called a ref a “fat t***” and a “f****** Tellytubby” while watching his nephew play for non-league Barrow Town in Leicestershire last December.
The club were fined £190 and hit with seven penalty points.
Last night a spokeswoman for the actor said: “We deny his party was asked to leave the track or that Stephen made anyone cry.
“Instead his party and all other parties involved were refunded as staff had let too many on and it became dangerous.
“Stephen happily took photos with the public and staff.”
We approached TeamSport Go Karting for comment.
Graham is said to be in peak physical condition after training for Disney+’s A Thousand Blows, in which he plays boxer Henry “Sugar” Goodson.
Oasis star Liam Gallagher in new legal battle with his love child’s mum over ‘silly amount’ in child support
OASIS frontman Liam Gallagher is embroiled in a new legal battle with the mother of his love child.
Liza Ghorbani, 51, has lodged a claim in New York for “a silly amount” more in child support, sources say.
It comes amid reports Liam will net £50million from Oasis’ reunion.
The claim follows a previous legal fight over daughter Gemma, 12, who Liam says he has never met.
A source close to the dad of four said last night: “It seems Liza and her legal team are milking the fact Liam is set for a big Oasis payday on his new tour and they’re after more money.
“He’s always paid his child maintenance fees, which are generous.
“She is asking for a silly amount of money.
“It’s certainly added some extra stress ahead of the tour.”
Liam, 52, and brother Noel, 57, are reported to be getting around £50million each from their upcoming world tour.
The new case was filed in the New York Supreme Court on Wednesday, listed as Liza Ghorbani vs Liam Gallagher “child support”.
It is the first claim since a confidential deal in 2015, before which Liza was said to be getting £3,000 a month.
Music writer Liza said at the time: “I’m just really relieved this ordeal is over for the sake of my daughter.”
Liam is said to have had a fling with Liza soon after she interviewed him in 2010.
In 2013, he was forced to come clean to then-wife, All Saints singer Nicole Appleton, about fathering the girl after Liza filed a £2million lawsuit for child support.
Liam was fined for not attending maintenance hearings, and he claimed he first needed to finalise his divorce from Nicole, 43.
He has since been in a relationship with his former PA, and now-fiancée, Debbie Gwyther, 40.
In 2018, Liam confessed he had never met Gemma, adding: “If they ever need anything, give us a shout.”
He fathered daughter Molly, now 26, during a fling with singer Lisa Moorish while he was married to Patsy Kensit.
He and Patsy had a son, Lennon, now 25.
In 2001, Liam had another son, Gene, 23, with Nicole.
Liam’s reps are aware of the new court claim but declined to comment.
Danny Jones & Maura Higgins caught on camera sharing wine at exclusive hotel until 6am after ‘kiss’ at Brits party
MAURA Higgins and Danny Jones stayed at a hotel until 6am sharing wine after their Brits party kiss.
New video has emerged showing the pair gazing at each other at the exclusive establishment — which they visited soon after their 3am smooch.
Only security guards appear to be nearby as they are seen chatting intimately, laughing and holding filled wine glasses.
They then disappeared into a darkened, curtained-off side room at the Nobu Hotel in Central London., which staff said was for use by guests only.
One security guard said: “You can only go through there if you are staying at the hotel.”
Earlier that night, at around 3am, Maura was heard shouting “Danny” as they stood on The Strand leaving a Universal Records party at 180 House where they were filmed kissing at 2.50am.
They travelled by car separately across London to a Sony party at Nobu Hotel in Marylebone.
An onlooker said: “Danny and Maura seemed to be enjoying their night of partying and had no plans to call it a night.
“They were knocking back wine at the Nobu from 4am and seemed keen to carry on.”
The onlooker added: “They weren’t seen leaving before 6am.”
The pair met when they appeared together in ITV1’s I’m A Celebrity last November and December.
After the Brits last Saturday Maura changed out of a see-through black outfit into a white mini-dress and a jacket with no top underneath, before going to an after-party where she was filmed kissing Danny.
It comes as we can reveal McFly pop star Danny, 38, who is married to model Georgia, previously compared “pretty” women to sweeties.
Writing in the 2012 autobiography McFly – Unsaid Things…Our Story he said: “Georgia’s amazing for me.
“Always there, and she keeps me sane.
“She’s beautiful inside and out, and when you meet someone like that, you’ve got to hang on to them.
“She’s the one. And I’ve grown up since meeting her.
“The old Danny, the kid in the sweetie shop every time pretty girls were around, is gone.
“I don’t want anybody else but her.”
Danny also liked a racy pic of former Love Islander Maura on Instagram back in January, which showed her black bra popping out the top of her figure-hugging leopard print dress.
She had a beaming smile on her face in the glamorous shot which was taken beside a formal table at a posh dinner party.
Maura captioned it: “Ravenous.”
Meanwhile, Maura left a black love heart emoji under one of Danny’s posts.
Danny has been married to Georgia Horsley, 38, since 2014.
