Why is it. In what way is it.

What disturbs me armand, and I'd be really interested in your reaction to this... what do you think about the way black people are being drafted in to play parts in Victorian dramas... and they're shown in positions of power... policemen, I've seen a black actor playing one of Queen Victoria's Household Cavalry (I don't they really had a black soldier till the 1980s). Do you think that helps with ethnic diversity, or do you think it might give some people the idea that black people have always be able to hold those kinds of positions and what's all the fuss about?
