It is why it is so important such archive material airs uncensored and uncut now - you cut that language out now and you're censoring the experiences of the victims of racist attitudes of the time rather than protecting them.

The whole Jonah/Lucy thing is a bit creepy isn't it?

Yep, absolutely and it's all a bit icky looking back on it now through 21st century eyes but it's also interesting how school girls dating older men went almost without comment and on Brookside at least seemingly encouraged by the parents. Nowadays people seem to treat teenagers as children until they're pretty much in their mid-20s but back then there was an expectation to be ready to adult as soon as you left school (generally at 16) and of course people married much younger then too.
