I was quite surprised to see the New Orleans song intact earlier. They started showing Series 4 last Friday and this is the first time in a while it’s been shown on Channel 4, in the first episode, Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes? (which is technically Series 3, but don’t get me started on that!), there were no edits at all its broadcast, this episode has always been cut previously in some form, usually removing the references to Bart’s desire to own a gun and subsequent NRA membership. Even then the BBC usually edited this episode historically.
Maybe, just maybe Channel 4’s edits may not be as conservative going forwards…?
