That doesn't mean they need to cast a black person to represent a modern Britain though. However the way he ruled it out entirely, and the reason for doing so, struck me as out of line.
I don't think he did rule it out entirely, did he.

Anyway for a black character to 'fit in' to this series it would have to be that bloke who was in rising damp wouldn't it? With the fantastic British accent.

Not Ali G.

Would that be representative enough for the thought police?
