BBC Rejects Noel Coward's "Mad Dogs & Englishmen" For Colonial Attitudes - BBC Presenter "Explodes"

BBC Radio 4's legendary "Quote... Unquote" has entertained audiences since 1976. However, in December 2021, fans were dismayed to discover that the show was at an end. In this clip from his recent #SWYSI appearance, Nigel Rees, the creator & host of "Quote... Unquote", explains one of the pivotal events that led thim to cancel the show was when the BBC executive producer told him he could not use quotations from Noel Coward's classic "Mad Dogs & Englishment" because it "reflected colonial attitudes". The song, of course, does quite the reverse as it pokes fun at the colonial English abroad, not at the native populations. This is a clip from Nigel Rees's longer #SWYSI interview.
