Inclusion, BBC style.
Half way thro LofD was thinking the same about black/female police officers. Almost commented so to my wife but so inured am I to all this nonesense I just let it pass. After reading your post I did mention it to her and she had gone thro exactly the same process.

What I don't get is why single out the BBC? It's rife! It's everywhere!

My wife watched Bridgerton on Netflix their most watched show ever. It was set in Regency England all about the aristocracy, debutantes and society balls.

King George III's wife Queen Charlotte was played by a black actress (sorry actor.) Now there was some vague rumours at the time she may have had some mixed race parentage going back a few generations but every image you can find of Queen Charlotte she was white. Most definitely white!

The male lead was a Lord and he was black. There was a good smattering of other black actors amongst the cast. Really!? Was a good number of the British aristocracy black in 1800? If so then so much for lack of opportunity or diversity.
