The Problematic Gaze

Auteur(s): David Moor and Lee Arnott
  • Résumé

  • Join Lee and Dave for lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture of yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. Should they be 'cancelled' or celebrated? What can we learn from them? Does the mention of 'Mrs Slocombe's pussy' send you into hysterical laughter or moral outrage? Or are you just as confused as us as to how we should feel? Perhaps a glass of wine would help?

  • Ep 23: 'The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie' British film from 1969. Maggie Smith, Girls and Mussolini
    Nov 12 2024

    Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week, we cast our gaze on the classic British film "The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie", starring Maggie Smith in an Oscar winning turn. Is Jean Brodie a romantic heroine or deluded egomaniac? One things for sure, she'd better watch her back. Her 'girls' are about to turn.

    Also, Dave and Lee dive into their bulging sack, of Gazers emails. And just what has Dave left in the back of his Zoom shot?

    You can watch 'The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie' on YouTube here.

  • Ep 22: 'Fawlty Towers: The Germans' from 1975: Torquay, we have a MAJOR problem!
    Nov 5 2024

    Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV, Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week, we cast our gaze on the classic British sitcom Fawlty Towers, and focus on an episode from 1975 called 'The Germans'. Controversial in recent years for its use of racist language, this episode was removed from several platforms. Do the antics of Basil, Sybil, Polly and Manuel hold up through a modern lens?

    Also, PG Towers is positively aglow from fibre optic and Hello Pierre! What's your real name and where do you come from?

    You can watch Fawlty Towers: The Germans here.
