Britbox has put an 'offensive racial stereotyping' warning on the pioneering sitcom Desmond's even though it had a largely black cast and was created by black writers.
The BBC and ITV streaming service placed the caution on one episode called 'Hello Aunty Susu', which includes a discussion about hereditary traits.
Britbox said the episode, which has also been flagged by Channel 4, 'contains racial stereotyping which some viewers may find offensive'.
It follows the service warning viewers about 'racist terms' on Sacha Baron Cohen's Da Ali G Show, giving a viewer disclaimer for offensive racial imagery in The Good Life and placing a viewer discretion warning on Keeping Up Appearances.
