Classic 80s sitcom Terry and June has become the latest TV show to be hit with a trigger warning for 'discriminatory language' after Fawlty Towers, Only Fools and Horses and 'Allo 'Allo also fell foul of snowflakes. The hugely-popular show was originally broadcast on BBC1 from 1979 to 1987 with nine series. It starred Terry Scott and Dame June Whitfield as a middle-aged, middle-class suburban couple, Terry and June Medford, who live in Purley. Most of the 65 episodes were written by John Kane, with seven other writers also contributing some episodes. Now ITV has advised viewers on its streaming service that the early-evening classic  has 'discriminatory language of the period'.

ROBERT HARDMAN: We may disagree about whether or not we should wear a poppy in the United Kingdom. However, we should not ignore others' sacrifices - at least, right now

The brutal beating of a poppy-selling Army veteran at Edinburgh Waverley station yesterday in the midst of yet another pro-Palestinian protest, was not only pitiful; it's viscerally insulting to millions of people for whom this week of the year is, quite simply, different. We can disagree on almost every topic, including the Middle East, but there is one point on which there has never been a single protest in this region. This week, we honor all our compatriots who gave their lives for our country. We may disagree on which color poppy we wear or whether we should wear one at all, but we do not dismiss the ultimate sacrifice made in our name.
