It follows recent criticism of the series, which ran from 2003-2006.The polling company, Ipsos, also questioned 115 people on behalf of Ofcom for the research.The sketch, which was first shown in 2003, contains actor and co-creator David Williams playing a character who uses racist terms to describe an Asian person.According to the BBC, Ofcom shared that participants felt that “society had moved on.” The report also said: “A few participants said they found it funny but seemed embarrassed to say this and could recognise why it would be offensive.”However, the study concluded: “This content was not considered acceptable for linear TV and many were surprised that it was available on iPlayer.”The reason for the offence was detailed in the report: “The clip was considered less acceptable because the participants felt it was purposely offensive in stereotyping and targeting an ethnic minority group for comedy purposes.”On the other hand, the report added, “Some reasoned that it was important to still show this content to reflect the beliefs of society at the time.”However, some participants were concerned about the appropriateness of the content for young people, with the report reflecting, “There were concerns that it could normalise racist behaviours which could be repeated by young children.”The BBC have responded to the complaints saying, “All jokes in our output are judged on context and intent.
