Spot on about the political correctness!

 
It has taken over most tv programmes made today.

 
TV shows, movies, books, stage plays, workplaces, schools,
shops, public transport, government departments, ... the
idiocy of  Political Correctness has taken over EVERYWHERE.
:-(

The worst thing is the edits made to old books so as to not
offend people today... Miss Marple & Hercule Poirot have had
some of their comments/inner monologues changed in modern
re-prints of some Agatha Christie novels. Harper Collins use the
term 'emendations' on the copyright page... I call it butchery!

Of course, with Agatha Christie this is nothing new really as
"Ten Little Niggers" had its title changed [twice] decades
ago... but this time silly stuff like "native", "gypsy", "Jew"
and "Nubian" (etc.) have been replaced to "reflect modern
sensibilities".

Stop the world and let me off!
