News about Terry Scott

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'.

But I am still flummoxed by the news about the BBC TV sitcom Terry And June, which first hit our screens in 1979, starring Terry Scott and June Whitfield as a middle-class, middle-aged couple living in the suburbs. On its website, the streaming service Britbox, which allows us to view the show, has decided to warn subscribers that it 'contains discriminatory language of the period'. It must be the maddest trigger warning yet issued.

The hugely-popular show was originally broadcast on BBC1 from 1979 to 1987 with nine series.

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN is a leader of the Tories in the UK, but even Terry and June are turning their backs on the Tories. Many people who like the sitcom characters, played by Terry Scott and June Whitfield, are switching their allegiance to Labour. Mrs Thatcher's first show ran from 1979, the year she became Prime Minister, to 1987, the year of her third landslide triumph.
