The appointment of Nicole Farley and Elliot Whitely is another step towards a more diverse coaching staff at West Ham

My guess would be that it is not representative of society, but what do I know!?!

Films and TV shows in the genre of fiction and fantasy aren’t supposed to be representative of society are they?
If they are then how about the culture police dig up and re-bury J.R.R Tolkien for racially unequal representation in his peoples of Middle Earth?

Of course Amazon are already in the process of re-writing his books for him.

No, they often have shows on their tv channel

Ann at the time was described as 'black sheep' and the Chan 5 reseachers when they submitted their report, carelessly omitted the word 'sheep'

Good old channel 5. The Sunday sport of tv

I agree it should be about choosing the best people on ability. Maybe the actress portraying Anne Boleyn was the best when trying out for the part?

As for advertising for BAME trainees that is something that should be legally challenged as clearly it is wrong.

Would be like me advertising for blondes with big tits only.

That’s fair enough though

What are they basing that on though

Yes but the idea of an actor or actress playing the part is that they look and act like that person as best as you can manage. What next, a male disabled Anne Boleyn because a geezer looked good in a screen test ?

It is box ticking

I agree with you.

If you are making a drama in a certain area,it`should be based on that with the characters.Like you say Eastenders should have all races/ethnics on it.Where are the Eastern Europeans in these soaps?

One thing I found totally ridiculous was the period drama,that had a black Anne Boleyn in?....WHY?

What show was that?

Not sure you were actually replying to me. I was commenting on the advertising for a blonde with big tits. Absolutely ok with that. Although I prefer brunettes

Is it not odd that people complain about a black actress playing Ann Boleyn seem to forget blonde haired, blue eyed Jesus, amongst others.
