MailOnline has approached Channel 4 for comment.

It comes as Channel 4 hit another iconic sitcom Father Ted with a trigger warning.

The beloved series was given the disclaimer on the channel’s streaming service All4, with the 1998 episode Are You Right There, Father Ted sparking fears it could upset viewers due to its language and racial impersonations.

The episode features a sequence where Ted, played by Dermot Morgan appears to mock the Chinese by wearing a lampshade on his head.

Later in the episode, he appears to look like Adolf Hitler thanks to an unfortunately-placed mark and some dramatic hand gestures, and the mix-up leads Ted to spend the rest of the episode convincing the island he was not ‘a bit of a racist’.

The plot point has led Channel 4 bosses to place a trigger warning on the episode, which reads: ‘This episode was made in 1998 and contains language and racial impersonation which some viewers may find offensive.’

The series originally aired on Channel 4 for three series from 1995 to 1998.
