I'm sorry, but whose idea was it to cast insane anti-trans actor J@mes Dreyfus in 'House of the Dragon' when you have a non-binary leading actor?. That should be a basic duty-of-care thing. You don't cast someone in a show who wishes harm on their other cast members.

This faux outrage is simultaneously funny but also infuriating. Not only was this Horrible Histories song released *years ago* but more evidence is coming out all the time validating its premise. It cannot be under-stated just how much Conservatives *loath* seeing….
BBC’s children show “Horrible Histories” has released a song called “Been Here From The Start” which is about black people always being in Britain. BBC is rewriting history by teaching children that the original Britons were black.

Can confirm that this is the prevailing gossip in the industry. I heard a couple of months ago that they were really struggling to get meetings with agents/actors for some of the Hogwarts teacher roles because JK has so obviously gone off the mental deep-end & is a PR liability.
Rumour has it, they’re struggling to cast the leads in the HBO Harry Potter series. I hear they’re about to do open call auditions because they can’t secure child actors over Rowling’s views.

The fact that Matt Smith *simultaneously* says that shows shouldn't come with warning but also says that warnings for things like Strobe Lighting makes sense kinda shows that no one has any idea what they're talking about with this issue because it's deliberately incoherent.
“I worry sometimes that we’re moving towards a sanitised version of everything”. Actor Matt Smith says theatre should “shock” people and that “one of the great things about Doctor Who was that you scared children, but in a controlled way”. #BBCLauraK

I don't think there is any context where Conservatives are happy with seeing non-white people in media unless it's in a negative one (Gangsters, victims etc). Remember when Lawrence Fox was furious at the *historically accurate* inclusion of a single Sikh in the film '1917'?.

'Doctor Who' was the brainchild of a Canadian Immigrant, a Jewish Woman, a Gay Indian Immigrant and the first story from Anthony Coburn was a pro-socialism and pro-progressive allegory. Doctor Who is continuing forward in the slip-stream of the diverse creatives who imagined it.
