The Melting Pot

Offensive to - Black, Muslim, Irish, Jewish, Arabic, German Chinese, Australian, Gay, Disabled & Dwarfs.

Along with racist speak including the N word amongst other racist terms.

It's baffling how Spike Milligan and John Bird thought this would be a good idea especially in black face, more baffling is how the BBC filmed not only a pilot but then went back and commissioned a 6 episode series.

If you can find the series it's worth watching once to see how over the top it is and also there are some funny moments sprinkled throughout the episodes.

Stand up Comedian Frank Carson stands out as as fine comic actor which makes me wonder why he didn't appear in any other shows as he could clearly act and had great comic timing

If you liked the Q series you may find something here to amuse you as it is from the same writers and features many of the same cast apart from Spike himself.

It's never going to be broadcast nor will it see a dvd release but the series is still in existence and can be found on some collector and trading sites.
