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).

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.

Red and Blue Army!

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

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.

Red and Blue Army!

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.

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.
