Is Thomas the tank engine rascist

Racist I wonder. How many of you can remember Andy Pandy and the others. At the end of the show all got into a basket.
The show was taken off on the grounds it suggested homsexuality!!
I think we had thousands of Andy Pandys on UCL at that rate.
How the sick mind of the do gooders think.

I don't think there was any suggestion re homosexuality in the show. After all, didn't Looby Loo climb into the basket to perform an erotic threesome with the other two?

I could never understand what Bill and ben were saying, sounded like they were always drunk, that's fine if they were, but not in the middle
of the day Marion.

#54, Was just talking myself at that stage John, think that's why I didn't like them, remember being confused.

Well according to those sick people who banned shows such as Andy Pandy and Noddy the mothers must have all been bad ladies then.

I remember as kids in the playground someone saying that little Weed was pregnant and us all chanting: Was it Bill or was it Ben ?

I was lost for words when years later, I heard as an adult the tongue in cheek - One saturday morning , Bill and Ben were sat up in bed, when Ben said to Bill, " Blob a blob lob lob blob? Blob? ?".

Bill said " you know? if you really love me, you' swallow that ! ! !..."

The characters were originally part of a BBC series called Watch with Mother. The Flower Pot Men (who had clay-pot bodies and straw hats) was the story of two little men made of flower pots who lived at the bottom of an English suburban garden. The pair spoke in gibberish known as 'flobbadob'. The plots largely consisting of the two characters mumbling "Flobbalobbalob, shobbalob," and their friend Little Weed crying out "Weeeeeed".

Didn't know they banned Noddy, he seemed like a nice little guy, but can you imagine calling your best
friend "big ears'?, really?.
