Looking forward to the new series of Doctor Who just so I can tweet about how **** it is and incur the wrath of feminists and femi-men.
Seem to remember the great Fulton Mackay in an episode of Z Cars where he played your archetypal Glasgow tippler (from Shettleston if my memory serves me well).
I don't think Charlie Brooker follows normal telly rules, but suit yourself. The leads in his shows are a mix of people, just because there are a couple of them with brown people as the main actors you've labelled it PC GONE MAD!!!! Are there no white actors in it?
PC gone mad is a piss take phrase used to mock people that use it . In 15 million merits the dumb ignorant arsehole character was white the hunky self aware hero was black . The same with Men against fire the hero that could see what is actually going on was black and his superior officer was also a kick ass woman . Just seems contrived and a bit patronising towards coloureds and the fairer sex.
What about all the other episodes featuring white people as main characters? Does every person on TV have to be white?
No but a 9 stone woman in army gear kicking the crap out of people is not realistic. You won't see blacks portrayed as drug dealers prostitutes or muggers anymore in Hollywood movies they are the cool guy , hero, lawyer Or chief of police. This is by design.
You do realise Black Mirror isn't exactly meant to be realistic? The 2nd part of your statement is bullshit. Black guys are nearly always given ****ty roles, the ongoing joke is that black guys always die first in movies ffs. Do you think it's unrealistic for a black dude to be chief of police?
