Award-winning comedy becomes latest hit show to be slapped with woke trigger warnings in crackdown by the BBC
Fans also slammed Channel 4 for a similar warning on a beloved sitcom WOKE JOKE Award-winning comedy becomes latest hit show to be slapped with woke trigger warnings in crackdown by the BBC Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HIT mockumentary sitcom The Office has been slapped with 'discriminatory language' trigger warnings by BBC bosses. Five episodes of Ricky Gervais's award-winning show on iPlayer have been flagged. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 1 The Office has been slapped with 'discriminatory language' trigger warnings by BBC bosses Credit: Handout All 14 episodes are available on the streaming service. Its two series, with Gervais as paper company branch boss David Brent, carry a 'G' rating to indicate adult humour. But some episodes also carry the additional warning. In the first series, debut episode Downsize — first aired in July 2001 — and the sixth episode Judgement are hit with the alert. And from series two, the first, third and fifth — Merger, Party and Charity — also carry the warnings. The Office won a clutch of awards in its time — most notably scooping a Golden Globe in 2004 for Best Television Series, the first British comedy to win. It was co-written and co-created by Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and went on to spawn a successful US version starring Steve Carell. The Office's alerts come after the BBC also put disclaimers about offensive or outdated language on episodes of Only Fools and Horses from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. In February, Channel 4 was branded 'humourless' for flagging a series of Father Ted on its catch-up. Broadcasters also hit Bafta-winning C4 sitcom The IT Crowd with advisories, with one warning: 'This episode was made in 2006 and contains strong, strong/offensive derogatory language and adult humour.' Terry and June to get woke warning - 80s comedy show ITV slapped 1970s comedy George and Mildred with a similar caution.

Investors Brace for Oil Market Fallout
Andrew here. Greetings from Cannes, France, where the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the advertising industry's biggest gathering, kicks off on Monday. The A.I. debate is a huge issue, as we explained on Saturday. There's another topic that's being discussed here. The U.S. government is considering approval for the merger of Interpublic and Omnicom — but only if the Madison Avenue giants pledge not to engage in political boycotting of any particular platforms when they consider buying ad space for their clients. The Trump administration argues such boycotts are a restraint of trade and, perhaps, on free speech. In the age of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which gave companies power to influence politics — and was supported by Republicans — is it ironic to now see the administration taking the opposite approach? Here's a thought experiment: A client hires an agency, which genuinely believes the client shouldn't advertise on a specific website because it presents a potential risk to that brand's safety or public image. This new provision, depending on how it's interpreted, could make it near impossible for an agency to live up to that professional obligation. If you were this firm's client, would you remain one? Please let me know your thoughts. Oil in focus A sense of calm has returned to global markets even as Israel and Iran clashed for a fourth day. Israeli missile strikes are increasingly targeting Iran's oil and gas facilities, including those at South Pars, a major gas field. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
