Actually it WAS a big deal Marsh , but I wasn't aware at first how badly he mocked Trisha as I never really watched Bo selecta . And I was more familiar with his other grotesque portrayals of Mel B , Craig David & Michael Jackson.
If you watch life stories with Trisha ,she explains how her kids received racist remarks of people mimicking terrible Jamaican accents of "rice & peas" . Plus she herself got treated badly aswell.
Leigh Francis' Trisha sketches are cringy and not funny , plus she doesn't even have a Jamaican accent

. So it just ended up reinforcing embarrassing black stereotypes. So yeah it's aged badly .
