The G.P.O.
The Boothe's and The Reynolds get a new phone each except they both share a line, Eddie decides to ear wig on Bill's calls until Bill pulls a prank.

The Car

Eddie Returns from Holiday

The Lion and the Lamb
A mass brawl is set between the whites and the blacks, Barbie and Joan try to stop it but both parties resolve it until the Chinese show up in the pub.

The Lift
Joan invites The Renolds over for a drink but Eddie hatches a plan for him and Bill to go to the pub. Arthur gets drunk on his anniversary, Eddie, Bill, Arthur and Jacko get stuck in the lift.

Barbie Becomes Pregnant
Barbie announces she has a bun in the oven, Eddie tries to convince Joan that they should start a family believing what Bill can do He can do better.

This one goes up a notch with the Nig nog, sambo and now going for chocolate drop, which is a bit racist and unexpected that I just about spat my coffee out. I never thought they would do this but passing a big golliwog to a black person was a touch of sensitivity but Barbie does try to make jokes abut the colors.

It's the one Demdike referred to yesterday – I think it's the one that was aired

If you have seen two series where the words "Nig nog" and "sambo" are used, how was "chocolate drop" unexpected and "a bit racist"?

Given the racist content you've mentioned in the previous series, why was this unexpected, and wouldn't it be "a touch of insensitivity"?

I wasn't expecting the " chocolate drop" to be used, I know golliwogs were a big thing back in the day but would you actually give one to a colored family and hope for the best you don't get punched i thought doing that was a it below the belt

That's why I was confused when you described the Gollywog incident as "a touch of sensitivity" – was that a typo and meant to be "a touch of insensitivity"?

In the first season Eddie gets dressed up like a colored person to prove a point, in one episode Bill dresses up as a white man just to annoy Eddie and create a prank. through out the previous seasons Jacko only seems to drink half a lager and shocks everyone when he asks for a full pint. Nobby seems to have a heart when talking to Bill and saying there will be no discrimination in his pub then calls out that he is speaking to a nig nog but at times he sticks up for Bill. What makes it a bit more comical, even though Bill and Eddie hurl insults at each other, going home from the pub drunk they basically carry each other singing.

I think you may have been watching too much Love Thy Neighbour, Mr B. The term 'coloured person' has been considered outdated and offensive for at least five years.
