If the BBC put a black only sitcom on prime time do you think it would do as well as a very similar white only one?

if both had the same content?

If you think the white one would get more viewers I take it that would be due solely to racism?

In American sitcoms.... this is exactly what would happen and historically has happened.

I think it would happen here as well

The UK doesn't have a great track history of black characters in leading roles
