Has Little Britain been removed before?
Yes, Little Britain was removed from iPlayer in 2020, along with other sketch shows, due to its use of blackface and other racial caricatures. It was later re-added with a content warning. This current removal is a separate decision, directly linked to the new allegations against David Walliams.
