Yes, we can mention the war, says BBC

Good news for Fawlty Towers fans. Contrary to what the Daily Telegraph says the comedy can still appear on the BBC, despite the corporation's new editorial guidelines. Last week a Telegraph headline said that under the new rules: "Fawlty couldn't mention the Germans these days." Not according to BBC director of editorial policy David Jordan: "It ain't going to stop the BBC showing Fawlty Towers, whatever the Daily Telegraph says, nor the selling of the DVDs in vast quantities." Monkey memo to the Telegraph: "Que?"
