Malorie Blackman who is black has joined the Doctor Who writing team so I guess that we will see more emphasis on black people much as we did with gay people when Russell T Davies was writing episodes

That will make 2% of the population happy I'm sure.

Forthcoming episodes of Dr Who will feature a 'male able-bodied, christian/atheist, british, white, heterosexual, conservative, with an absence of any medical conditions, middle-class character' ...

well Science Fiction does include much fantasy does it not ?

BBC is at it again trying to waste our money that is.

HMRC currently has the Beeb under investigation because it pushed its stars into setting up their own companies to avoid tax mainly National Insurance. This is common practice in the industry even though they are in really permanent employees.

The BBC has now very kindly offered to HMRC to settle the outstanding tax bills of all its stars. What a wonderful magnanimous gesture with OUR money. So far no news on whether HMRC has accepted this.

What should happen is that BBC is responsible for its tax bill and the stars for theirs. I don't hold them responsible for tax dodging that is the BBC who need to be held accountable. The stars should still pay back the tax they would have paid if they were regular employees.

The BBC's generosity knows no bounds.

Perhaps we should set up a funding page for Carey? On the other hand she could just pay for a nanny from her own millions.

I agree non news story, why are the media obsessed with the thoughts of celebs who live in a bubble separate from the rest of us. Childcare costs is a serious issues for many people in the UK this just trivialises it.
