Why is episode 7 of series 4 'disappeared'?

[edit]

In the original broadcast series this episode (7:4) created many thousands of complaints and even an official representation/complaint from the Canadian government.

The big issue (not necessarily the only one) was a sketch called 'Canadian Club' - that was a satirical take on the taking of seal pups for their fur.

The sketch was broadcast, the episode was broadcast, there was a huge public and political reaction - but Wikipedia has no reference to this 'are you the nice clubbing man' sketch.

I am not an authority on this, I just know the sketch (as will many who saw it at the time) -- I just wonder why Wikipedia have blackholed it... 188.30.79.128 (talk) 23:00, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
