I think its sad that this show has been so misunderstood. People who weren't even alive in the '70's will tell you with absolute authority that it was 'racist' and 'should never be shown again'. Yet how many of them have actually seen an episode?
True, 'Love Thy Neighbour' was about a racist - Eddie Booth - but it was no more an endorsement of his ridiculous views than 'Fawlty Towers' a televisual guidebook on hotel management. Jack Smethurst was superb as Booth, a walking contradiction of a man who purports to be socialistic, yet his attitudes are pure Enoch Powell. I used to live in a neighbourhood where there were a lot of West Indian families, and you should have heard the laughter coming out of these houses when this show was on.
Before condemning it outright, critics should take the trouble to watch it and see who comes out on top every week. It certainly isn't Eddie. If anyone was foolish enough to laugh along with him, that was their fault, not the show's.
