Idris Elba doesnt believe in "censorship" of racist old sitcoms, and says viewers should know that people made such shows
"But I think, moving forward, people should know that freedom of speech is accepted, but the audience should know what they're getting into. I don't believe in censorship. I believe that we should be allowed to say what we want to say. Because, after all, we're story-makers," he added.
The actor feels boosting diversity needs a change in attitude.
"Money helps," he said, adding: "It's a shift in attitude, in perspective, in tolerance. And you can't put an amount on that."
His comments come after many classic sitcoms including "Little Britain" and "Fawlty Towers" were removed from streaming services including Netflix. The shows were criticised because of the use of blackface make-up in some sketches.
