No, I don't mean a concious decision of which 2 faces they used. I mean a concious decision to use a black and white couple to depict as a typical British family.

you have to take into account that this is being broadcast all over the world. so with that reasoning you have to wonder if and even why they wanted to depict the typical British family in this way.

you have to remember that a lot of countries won't know what a typical British family is. and this is what they will think it actually is.
