The scene, which appears in the season two episode “Dance Class”, first aired on Channel 4 in 2004 and sees Jez (Robert Webb) try to impress love interest Nancy (Rachel Blanchard) by breaking “sexual taboos”, including wearing blackface.
The scene has been cut from the sitcom on Netflix, but is yet to be removed from Channel 4’s own catch-up service All4.
Channel 4 has said “erasing our creative history” is not a “quick fix” for issues such as racism, after Netflix removed a scene from its comedy Peep Show.
When asked by Newsweek whether Channel 4 would remove the scene, the broadcaster said it currently has no plans to do so.
