No, I definitely don't have a problem with black or mixed race kids in a TV show (or anywhere else for that matter). I do have a problem with the virtue signalling mindset for positive discrimination which seems to be prevalent at the moment. It's reaching farcical levels with 'ethnic minorities' cropping up in medieval English drama's and the like; homosexuality in car adverts etc. What next? Trannies on Songs of Praise? You just have problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted January 5, 2020 Members Share Posted January 5, 2020 The fuck does it matter? Ethnic chap in a medieval story, never mind the story might be fictional and they might be the best actor for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a black bloke play Hamlet a few years back. A black bloke played Scrooge in a Christmas Carol down the Octagon last year. It’s called ‘acting’. It’s all pretend and made up.

Not in Crawley Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Yeah - I don’t believe anyone really holds views like this when it comes to ads and TV shows. To this end, you’d only have Shakespeare performed in one set time period, set genders and rigidly stick to this. As Spider says, it’s creativity - the joy of it is you can do whatever the hell you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for the record (and you can check back if you can find it), I want Idris Elba to be the next Bond. All about context. Believable that Elba could be Bond. Not sure Barbara Euphan Todd would have envisaged her story being told this way. You seem to be missing the point - it's the PC bollocks I am having a go at, not the actors. Oh, and before I forget - I didn't get the significance of the farting scene in WG? Because kids laugh at farting? Did not think that particular bit was at all necessary and detracted from an otherwise excellent bit of TV.
