I heard Stephen Fry talking about this subject on the radio a while ago. He said the reason was that the rest of the world is primarily interested in buying period dramas (like Downton Abbey) from the UK, and isn't much interested in modern day urban UK drama.

..there are many British actors/actresses who have to 'do one' to the USA because in terms of opportunities in roles, money etc...it can offer so much more, the UK film/TV industry is just so limited in general with finances etc...for black actors/actresses I think, it's just another 'minority' or a restriction that they have to deal with...they're British/fewer British roles in the USA TV/film industry, so can they convincingly be Americans, do those roles..?..they're female...fewer great roles for females in general..?...they're black so 'black roles' are needed ..?...atm, there are American actors speaking up that their aren't enough opportunities for black actors/actresses and even talk about boycotting the Oscars...it's good that this is being spoken up about I think...because why is that..?...they can only give parts to characters that have been written, so why aren't they being written so much for black characters..?..maybe not equal opportunities, a minority in black screen writers/producers/directors etc as well..?...why is that, through schools/colleges/unis etc...is there not the same equal opportunities there either..?..so it goes down, I guess and looking at why and that should be looked at....
...the BBC has always been known as producing great period dramas, I think that James commented on that..?..well, black characters didn't figure so much in 'period' did they, so TV companies should be looking at that and looking at different scripts....we have huge predominantly black communities in the UK with very few white population in them...have we ever had a soap in this country that has been mainly 'black' casted..?...like we do with things like EastEnders etc....although there are black families integrated, is it still not mainly white communities that are focused on..?...why not a black community..?...maybe there is that though, I don't really watch soaps.... ..anyways, I don't see why roles can't be adapted as well, when it would make no difference to the character portrayed...there was quite a lot of objection to Idris playing James Bond if I recall...on social sites I mean, not on here....what difference to the character if the role was a black actor..?...none at all... |
Take another BBC stalwart - Dr Who - Plenty races in there including Aliens - They have rights too :fist:

I am amazed at womankind. They spend a fortune making their 2 breasts bigger when surely it would be more efficient to grow another middle boob thus giving men more?
typical women not thinking right :idc: |

He's not the first to say it.
Selma star David Oyelowo has claimed there is no desire within the UK film industry to tell stories about black heroes. Interviewed by the Big Issue, the Hollywood-based Briton said he would not have enjoyed the same opportunities had he remained working in the UK. Oyelowo, who plays Martin Luther King Jr in Ava DuVernay’s acclaimed civil rights biopic, added that the country’s arts scene was hamstrung by issues of class and race. “I’d never get to play a character akin to Dr King living and working [in the UK],” said Oyelowo, the former star of BBC spy drama Spooks who left Britain in 2007. “If I looked like Benedict [Cumberbatch] or Eddie Redmayne, I could do the films they have done that are being celebrated now. But myself, Idris Elba and Chiwetel Ejiofor had to gain our success elsewhere because there is not a desire to tell stories with black protagonists in a heroic context within British film.” http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015...aracters-selma |
I was there yesterday! He smelt so good... I don't think most of the females there heard a thing he said.
