Social media users were fuming and saying that things had just gone way too far and over the top at Fawlty Towers seeing an episode pulled over racism claims.

Broadcasters in the UK had decided to remove an episode of the classic TV series Fawlty Towers.

According to reports in the UK, the episode ‘Don’t Mention the War’ had been removed from a popular BBC streaming service.

In a move that comes as more broadcasters are reviewing classic content, the episode which sees John Cleese goose stepping around the iconic hotel has been removed from the UKTV catchup service.

Although no explanation has been given, a spokesperson said the decision comes as we make regular decisions that makes sure our programming meets audience expectations.

However, thankfully after much uproar, the episode has been reinstated.
