Fawlty Towers' iconic 'Don't Mention The War' episode removed from UKTV streaming site

BBC have removed an iconic episode of Fawlty Towers that coined the phrase “Don’t mention the war” from the streaming site UKTV.

A spokesperson for UKTV repeatedly refused to clarify why the programme had been removed, or whether the decision was permanent: “We aren’t commenting on individual titles. The episode in question showed John Cleese as Basil Fawlty yelling the famous phrase while goose-stepping around a Torquay hotel.The reason as to why the company stopped streaming the episode in question, which ended with Cleese’s character making remarks about the second world war to a German family, is still up in the air.
