Not exactly PC!
Very much the latter I suspect Rhian. It Ain't Half Hot Mum was very "colonial", very much the Brit being superior to the Indian cuture. Remember the oft used term Pankawalla?
It's considered quite un-PC these days.

Actually you will find repeats of Rising Damp on TV right now.
Go to ITV3 and take a look. There were 2 episodes today from 3.55pm.

There's another episode tomorrow morning at 11:30am if you want to set your box to record. There are episodes daily I think.

You can also see episodes of similar comedy greats:

George And Mildred and
On The Buses

Go take a peek

Love Thy Neighbour is highly unlikely to be repeated due to its ultra racist derogatory terminology.

Shame really.
Thing is though, it was normally the white guy made to look like a plonka in most episodes...
