Maybe now that political correctness has become 'the norm',the issue is what are we going to be able to 'make fun' off without running the risk of being prosecuted? It's actually quite telling that there seems to be a hierarchy where gender/sexuality/race is concerned! I don't think it's necessarily indicative of just the BBC though.I imagine comics are sweating like a fat man in a cake shop! Oops,will I now be prosecuted for that last comment?!

I think you misunderstand what he's saying.

I don't think so. It's pretty clear. He is explaining why they didn't have any casual racism in Life On Mars even though it was set in the 1970's when there was loads of everyday racism. It is because it made you 'not like' the character who was racist, he says. Then he goes on to contrast that with homophobia and sexism which he states are 'still quite funny' and one of his fellow writers can be heard agreeing in the background.

By using the phrase 'even sexism' he clearly thinks there is a hierarchy of what is acceptable: racism at the top which is so bad that they couldn't include it in the series, then sexism which is 'still quite funny' but still pretty bad and then homophobia which is 'still quite funny' but not as bad as sexism.
The message is clear: be a sexist or homophobic bigot and you will still be likeable. So, you begin to see why the BBC is so reluctant to discipline staff who are homophobic.
