# S 2 E 07.

1970's sitcom. Since 1972, when Love Thy Neighbour was first transmitted, it has been criticised for its politically incorrect handling of issues of racism , it was made in an era when Britain was perceived to be struggling to come to terms with mass immigration which Love Thy Neighbour was said to exemplify. This meant "comedies about race" were really about "blacks signifying trouble " so that consequentially "if the White characters did display prejudice, this was deemed funny or understandable given the 'difficulty of the situation'. The views of the main white male character (Eddie Booth, played by Jack Smethurst ) were presented so as to make him appear ignorant and bigoted and were contrasted with the more tolerant attitude of his wife.
