The remake of classic WW2 drama The Dam Busters has hit an early snag; an integral part of the plot is a dog called, rather un-PCly, Nigger. While the makers say they want the film to be "as historically accurate as possible", they also accept that the word is simply unacceptable in America nowadays."
They will instead call the dog Nidge, an actual nickname of the real animal.
