I am no advocate of bringing LTN back to TV screens, however, I find it strange how a show like On The Buses continues to be repeated when it is cringeworthy how it demeans women in almost every episode, apparently sexism gets a free pass.

Anyhoo, I have no particular issue with Talon's, showing prejudice in context is not the same as supporting or promoting prejudice.

If you want to seek LTN out there are episodes on YT and its just as cringeworthy as OTB, I tried watching and gave up after 20 minutes.

Quite, Talons its meant to be historically accurate for the most part and you certainly get the impression that it is.
