I'm not a fan of extremist views on either side of the political spectrum.

But the Return of the Man From UNCLE had a scene where Illya punched Napoleon Solo for tricking him into rejoining U.N.C.L.E. ( we saw Illya draw his arm back and then a cut to Napoleon holding his jaw and saying 'do you feel better now?") but the rest of the film showed countless villains being mown down by gunfire. Go figure. Warnings are given before Land of the Giants and Lost in Space which were children's tv in the late 60s.

Oddly enough I've noticed that too. What I can't fathom is that broadcasters sensor classic TV shows like Steptoe & Son, Are you Being Served , Goodnight Sweetheart , Rising Damp and On The Buses by putting trigger warnings beforehand only to cut out or bleep what they deem an offending word. But then allow adverts showing people spraying deodorant on their bits. Where we then see a man smelling a basketball players nutsack after shooting a hoop and a woman with her nose nestled in a man's buttcrack as he passes her by in a cinema row. And less said about "I Kissed A Boy And I liked It" and "Naked Attraction" where winkies and minkies are on display. It's all cock & bull. Aaarrgggh!
