Default Multiculturalism in childrens media?
Watching Balamory the other day (set on the Island of Mull) many of the nursery children were deliberately asian/arabic (the show is based on the island nursery). 2 of the main characters are black. this does not reflect Mull or a lot of Scotland.

Is it necessary, does it work or is it just hand-wringing middle class white 30 year old BBC producers and execs worrying they will be blamed?
