Eeny, meeny, miny, moe: Difference between revisions

* The use of the "n-word" in the King of Hearts' recitation of the rhyme in "[[The Hall of Dolls]]" was still considered more or less acceptable in Britain at the time of the original [[1966 (releases)|1966]] broadcast of ''[[The Celestial Toymaker (TV story)|The Celestial Toymaker]]''.{{Note|On the other hand, in America the "n-word" had been widely acknowledged as a racial slur by this point, but it is impossible to know whether the authors were aware of this.}} Although the rhyme is still present on [[AudioGO|BBC Audio]]'s 2001 CD soundtrack release of the story, this section has been obscured by [[Peter Purves]]'s narration to correspond to modern views on the use of the "n-word". Due to its long history, it is now considered a racial slur.
