Make Bradford British - 9pm Channel 4

[Me. I Am Salman]

Different people of different ethnic backgrounds from Bradford, all living in one house, swapping lives.

Apparently it's just like Big Brother meets Wife Swap, according to an article I read somewhere (can't remember)

[Me. I Am Salman]

On now, seems really really really good :amazed:

[MTVN]

Stupid to use that test as a measure of "how British" someone is

[Me. I Am Salman]

Exactly, how does knowing the percentage of something from 10 years ago prove that you're British :shrug:

[Scarlett.]

The title of this show simply makes me think of the Daily Mail, due to that I wont be watching

[MTVN]

The Muslim guy's quality :joker:

[Kizzy]

i forgot it was on so +1 ...

[Kizzy]

Oh dear, the programme failed it didn't highlight any issues...I felt so sorry for the ex copper, he is a different generation and he was honesly relaying how it was in the 80s...he was berrated for it, why? he is there and at 70+ years admitting he was wrong and wants to change. Channel 4 are shameful for the way they are portraying the white people of bradford, i would have loved to make that programme!

I enjoyed this. Quite eye-opening, and a more relaxed watch than Proud and Prejudiced on Monday which was just infuriating.

It's on Channel 4, the content couldn't be more different to the Daily Mail :joker:

[MTVN]

Proud and Prejudiced was good, I liked that it was more hard-hitting. I felt a bit sorry for the ex cop as well, they were kinda ignoring the context behind what he said, the black woman annoyed me as well getting really indignant when she herself was being racist about Asian people

[Kizzy]

Exactamundo, when they said **** i thought ...effin ell you cant say that! but it was glossed over...untill yens said it, what are they trying to prove here? its not representative, nope no way.....Proud and predudiced put the town of Luton under a microscope too, i have seen a similar programme recently featuring a young female reporter from luton, which was much better.

[Jack_]

Oh don't get me wrong, Proud and Prejudiced was good, just an infuriating watch. I found myself getting so annoyed at the sheer ignorance and just general idiocy from both the EDL and that Muslim extremist group.

The only people who came out looking good in that show were the United Against Fascism group.

[InOne]

Next weeks looks better. They all annoy me at the moment really, and I doubt any of them will learn anything. They picked the wrong people. And the landlady of the Boy n Barrell made herself look a dick too

[Kizzy]

Yep....guess whos windows will be going through this week?

[InOne]

Yep....guess whos windows will be going through this week?

Nah her family is rough as **** :joker: Think she's related to that boxer

[Kizzy]

Im still fuming, the part in temple newsam was the best, it was if they were saying 'if you think whites were are bad to asians you should see how we used to treat the africans. grrr the guide was my ex brother in law btw.

:shocked:

[Kizzy]

why is that so shocking?

[MTVN]

This is your claim to fame Kizzy

[InOne]

why is that so shocking?

I dunno, wanted to be dramatic :joker:

[Me. I Am Salman]

I thought that tour guide was high or something no offence

[InOne]

On in 25mins Ch4HD

[Me. I Am Salman]

Forgot this was on :o

[Me. I Am Salman]

Just got interesting :amazed:

[Me. I Am Salman]

Why does that old twat Jens keep saying 'black b*st*rd' in front of Desmond
put a sock in it u ****!!

[Me. I Am Salman]

OK **** Jens seriously!

[Me. I Am Salman]

Damon & Rashid had a great bromance
and on the live Q&A on the C4 website, the series editor said
"They are still close. Damon attended a wedding with Rashid and his family, and Rashid has been to watch rugby with Damon."

:amazed:

make Bradford British

thank you channel 4,
this poem is pure complementary,
it was a ingenious idea,
the make Bradford British documentary.
i did witness racism,
Jen was the biggest shock,
but even from a 97% white area,
like the findings in the "Stepen Lawarance enquiry" racism we must block.
Damon to was a cha rector,
i think for a young dad it was naivety,
and now after this,
his feet are on the floor with gravity.
Mohamed is weak,
he is not the profit sent from the lord,
not being able to handle it,
is proof he is fraud.
Maura was neutral,
on me she never had a impact,
unlike Audrey who sent mixed messages,
but i understand that as of the child abuse fact.
i did feel sorry for Sabbiyah,
when she was upset and crying,
the fact we all live together and the cultures are so different,
total 100% peace i am not buying.
last word goes to Rashid,
who i most feared,
i must not type cast,
because of his beard.
you have all shown me something,
like a variety of different liquorish,
we all belong here,
and that makes me, Joe proud to be British.

(did anyone else watch this show ? and what are your views ?)

[Kizzy]

I did and it did highlight one glaring fact, its not just some british whites that have a problem, there are those in other groups that dont want to integrate....
Ignorance is everywhere, in every city not just bradford.

hi kizzy - but i think more importantly it showed how we are all the same - just going about our daily lives and beleifs what ever they are - i think it was brill.
