Excuse me you posted a woefully false assertion of 'Most kids dont watch any tv' and when challenged you come back with a link that says 'Children still watch live television' with no apology and you say I'm in the wrong  ..and you accuse me of not reading posts? practice what you preach.
53 % of kids according to the latest ofcom report dont watch live tv. What part of that and how it relates to "most kids " dont you understand?
of the 47 % who do , i wonder how many in years to come if their viewing trends continue ( which i doubt) will continue to pay for the tv licence? Not many i suspect.

whats the point funding something that will eventually run out of any meangfull numbers in terms of an audience?

Their answer is to attack and restrict the competition. |

No no, I mean Steve practicing what he preaches. The thread is covering a serious topic related to history being rewritten, which should be of major concern considering the BBC (basically state TV) is behind it. Yet, I look back to it and to my non-surprise I see Steve is arguing, for over a several pages, about something so insignificant that nobody with a life would even care about.
The question is, why?

I don't want to answer that question.
What I am interested in is why when I switch on an listen to the equivalent channel in China do I get to regularly hear from serious people like engineers, professors of economics etc, and each time I switch on Radio 4 why do I hear what I will refer to as drama queens. These are feeble-minded specimens of the human race with a mental age of about five and a fascination for fiction and made up twaddle of what is really nothingness. They talk for hours about football, what stupid films they think are fantastic, they comment on trivia like mannerisms and that kind of thing. It just turns me right off. The other problem I have is the public suck it all up and copy their idiocy. The new head of Radio Four has said he wants to dumb it down to make it more accessible to normal folk. Our civilisation is heading for the sewer.

Just do the maths (well sets). You might have 20 actors in a drama, now make 18% of them non white and now randomly pick couples. You'll get a higher % of inter racial couples than in society. Or try to make the correct number of depicted relationships inter racial (~10%) and then get that 18% of actors to be non white: you'll find it hard. The intelligent thing to do is just look at the characters and actions they project and accept that that's what drama is and should be (and not some manifesto for the white purists) Do you think that the depiction of interracial partnerships changes the dynamics of any given drama especially bearing in mind that some drama is based on that very dynamic. You could not resist the white purists comment as the whole point is to resist the directing of any society into a specific ethnic direction be that white purists or racially mixed. The strange thing is that non whites being in dramas, adverts and general broadcasting at levels much greater than 18% seems to be the norm and believe it or not it is possible to construct a drama where they might be over represented and similarly where they are under represented. The final point is that we are told that actors are selected on their talent yet in a drama 82% should be white to satisfy representation and 18% non white irrespective of the relative acting abilities. Some here might find this next bit hard to believe but I ignore it. No honestly. Someone started an Idris Elba for Bond thread / whatever in some pod cast and I jumped in and said fuck NO !!! He’s wasted as Bond make him a bond VILLAIN !! They got annoyed and actually called me a racist shithead etc I said why ? Because I’ve just seen him on Fast And Furious WhateverTheFuck as the villain and thought he was outstanding and could give Daniel Craig a run and a half given the right script.. Look, I remember the early bond films with jack Lord as felix leister the cia chief. I remember as a teenager in the early 70s reading the BOOKS that predate the films that feature Leitner. I remember Craig in Casino Royale playing against a black actor playing Leitner and it didn’t matter. The actor behaved as Leitner would have. Job done. Yes, I know where this is going. In the Connery Dr No etc of the 60s a black CIA director would be unthinkable. In the 2020s ten years after 90s a black president why not ? Move on. And that includes those wanting to trumpet the fact a black man has the job in the film. You are such a fucking dinosaur. Move on. |
