In 1967 the Campaign Against Racial Discrimination presented a petition to the BBC calling for the show to be cancelled. In 1968, the BBC experimented with a version of the show called "Masquerade", where the main singers appeared without blackface and the black singers wore whiteface. In 1969, due to continuing accusations of racism, "Music Music Music," a spin-off series in which the minstrels appeared without their blackface make-up, replaced "The Black and White Minstrel Show". However, after one series, "The Black and White Minstrel Show" returned.
