We ask the makers of the forthcoming sitcom about the famine not to bow to pressure from those calling for its censorship. We know all know of some incredible comedies that have dealt with sensitive subject matters in a tasteful and funny manner. We understand that comedy does not equal making fun of victims and there are countless examples of comedies have dealt with sensitve subjects with respect and poignancy. If the censors had their way some great comedies would never have been made, such as.

Life is Beautiful
MASH
Blackadder Goes Forth
Patch Adams
Good Morning Vietnam
Dad's Army
Jakob the Liar
Good Night Sweetheart
Hogan's Heroes
