I've just read in my local paper that the BBC are to make a new Robin Hood series but the factual character Friar Tuck will not be in it, the BBC says thay have left him out in case he is ' ridiculed '

This would be akin to re-making Sherlock Holmes without Mrs Hudson.

Trouble is you can never find out which petty beaurocrat makes these, frankly fucking stupid decisions.

I won't watch it.
