I see that the Beeb's Head of Diversity has decided the Idris Elba is not Black enough

It seems that his character in Luther doesn,t have any black friends or eat West Indian food.

How much are they paying this dopey cow for this nonsense !!!!

Crazy isn't it? I watched all the Luther series and thoroughly enjoyed them. Idris Elba's black cop role was well cast. Never occurred to me he wasn't a black guy. Don't remember seeing him in any restaurants or with friends so why that showed he wasn't authentic, goodness knows. His nemesis Alice, played by the magnificent Ruth Wilson, was scary though.

But yes, the BBC needs to have a long look at itself, to actually take seriously this nonsense spouted by their diversity chief is beyond the pale (if you'll excuse the expression).

A curious point to pick up on. Ted Hastings doesn’t spend his time tucking into Ulster Frys, Champ and Yellowman either.

So you're an Uncle Tom if your not eating rice and peas or hanging out with people with spliffs or afros? Utter nonsense. I'm sure black people would be unimpressed by the stereotyping.

Morse drank ale, listened to opera and had a vintage car though. And look at Bergerac. They should now be remade with CGI bowler hats and canes with shiny silver bezels, just to be safe.

To 'Avenge' all the other stereotypical woke/left wing stuff that the #defundthebbc spout out all day every day.

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

That’s true about Morse but would anyone have complained if he hadn’t?
Luther wasn’t written as a Black character and is portrayed as created - as a bloke from London. Maybe he should wear a pearly king outfit and live on jellied eels like the rest of us.

The Avengers is still cool man, and the women still sexy. I watch that, The Saint and Tales of the Unexpected currently. I'm in full on nostalgia mode. Reggie Perrin had me on absolute stitches the other day. Life was simpler then, more black and white - or is that today? I'm losing track.
I was thinking programmes could come with a 'white privelege' warning. Then I'd know which ones to watch.

Thaw would not have worked without a few Ales, I reckon. We should complain that he was stereotyped and taken advantage of. Just like the permanently offended snowflakes, we should start serious complaints about the white stereotypes. Confusion will reign at the beeb.

You're being busy this morning AS. I too am a devotee of the Talking Pictures channel - Good isn't it? At least they tell us before the programme is due to start if there may be language of olden days which some viewers may find offensive.

Simple times indeed, but some 'authentic' programming nonetheless. Watched an episode of Gideon's Way last night. He drank a cup of tea. Disgusting I tell you.

Doubt the follow-up will be shown again much since Lewis’ sidekick was played by Laurence Fox.
Talking Pictures have been showing Budgie which creaks a bit now but would cause total meltdown if more people watched it.

I'll drink to that! Complain! Stand up to the BBC! Or should that be kneel. Oh, I don't know - think I'll have to lie down.

Started by a father and daughter in their spare room. They tried to get Sky interested and eventually went their own way.

It averages around 5m viewers which is more than channels aimed at the yoof like MTV.

And on that note the DG at the BBC admitted they don't target the older population with programming. So they target the alphabet soup crowd and the yoof (who don't watch) and ignore the people who are their most loyal viewers, go figure.

TP has shown that there are niche markets out there which can be exploited and that not everything has to be Woke and young.
