Although masked by science fiction, it was clearly inspired by the Irish Troubles, with the episode first airing just months after an IRA terrorist attack. Because of this, the episode wasn’t aired in the UK or the Republic of Ireland.
All Of Derrick In Germany
Throughout the 1970s and 80s, the Munich-based detective show Derrick was a major hit throughout Germany and was broadcast in 102 countries around the world.
The show would go on to syndication until it was completely taken off the air in 2013 after it was revealed that actor Horst Tappert, who played Derrick, had lied about his service during World War II. It turns out that he was actually under the command of the Waffen-SS, which was something the network didn’t want to be associated with.
“Mister Skinnylegs” – Peppa Pig
Although Peppa Pig is a children’s cartoon, it has had its fair amount of controversy over the years, including the episode “Mister Skinnylegs.” The episode follows the family that befriends a spider to show that spiders aren’t inherently bad creatures. While this may seem harmless, it wasn’t for the children of Australia, which is home to some of the most poisonous and dangerous spiders in the world.
So, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation banned the episode. Yet, it was accidentally aired, and the network received complaints from parents before ABC removed it.
