Me and my wife the other evening watched E.T. the extra terrestrial.
A classic children's sci-fi film. What could possibly be wrong by today's standards in that you might ask? Well. The part where Elliot has to be collected from school and the mum leaves her 5 year old daughter at home saying "You will be OK, wont you?"

Yes, it's a film. Yes it's fantasy.
But today even film makers have to be careful not to show things like this in movies.

We live in strange times. People get offended by what you have in your sandwich let alone political views.

goodness knows what they would make of the name of the Black Labrador in the film the Battle of Britain, I understand his name has also been removed from the memorial. Should I be saying what the dogs name was, you probably know, would I be breaking a rule by adding his name?
