@Boris Joker As Peter Hitchens said on GB News recently why is there no significant body, like the United Nations etc, or any government demanding an immediate end to the war in Ukraine?

[@stepchicken3238]

I remember it too. It was praised for years as the best dramatisation and adaptation the Beeb had ever done. It has been banned for decades from being shown - well before political correctness, and the rest. It wasn't set in the sixties, but in France around the time of the Nazis marching in, 1940. I would say that it is a collection of the personal stories of those whose paths interweave. What they have in common with each other, is a deep disatisfaction with themselves and their lives; a desire for self-destruction, and a certain masochism. This is certainly true of the character Peter H. mentions, Daniel, who desires to live with a woman. For him, this is the perfect masochistic torture, as he is homosexual. I recall the final scene of the series being of Mathieu who, as a French soldier refusing to surrender, when offered, and is shot. As he lies dying, he thinks to himself the word, "Free!" Of course, I haven't seen this series for many years, so my memory of it may be wrong on some points but, I think the reason the Beeb has banned it, all this time is not because of the portrayal of any one character but because many of the characters were deeply flawed people. They were also left-wingers and so, in the collectivist, leftist mind of the Beeb were not good representatives of socialism.

[@peterd788]

The BBC licensed the work for a broadcast adaptation with limited time for exploitation for that license. This was perfectly normal until the late 1980s. In the 1960s there was no home media to release on and no streaming services so no one negotiated those rights. Once the license expired a repeat showing after the agreed number would have to be renegotiated with the rights holders and permission sought from credited cast members or heirs for an appropriate alternative use fee. Equity was a closed shop in those days and standard contracts for actors covered a limited number of broadcasts because actors wanted new work and not old work being recycled. The BBC didn't have the overarching music license it does today so the theme song probably requires relicensing as well. It's probably impossible to repeat or release the show for all these reasons. Many BBC adaptations from that period have been in limbo for decades because of these issues. Even with the wildly successful The Forsyte Saga the BBC couldn't rebroadcast more than one episode after 1974 for decades.

[@pussypostlethwaitsaeronaut8503]

It's licence, not 'license'. Licence is the noun, whereas 'license' is the verb only, unless you're American. You license (verb) someone by issuing them a licence (noun); therefore it should be 'that licence', 'the licence', 'music licence' ‒ nouns.

Given the BBC are not likely to allow us to watch the brilliant "Come Fly With Me" anytime soon, and that is far more recent, I think it is highly unlikely that a programme from 1970 will be shown unless it is uncontroversial or 'on side' politically.

“An extraordinary epic, memorable as much for its lacerating monologues…as for its concentrated sense of impending doom, and the blending in of the manoeuvrings of Hitler, Daladier, Chamberlain and Halifax with the fictional domestic drama.
For the first time a gay man was seen having sex (with a prostitute), railing at God, pretending friendship to a man whose girlfriend he doesn’t want but takes in a marriage of convenience.
Thanks to the truth in the writing and the playing, this was exhilirating rather than simply depressing and reprehensible.”
