But isn’t the counter argument that due to streaming you’ll never get the numbers like a MASH or Seinfeld finale again? But even with streaming Dr Who used to pull much better numbers. I had co-workers who loved Tenant and Smith and it made them go watch classic Who starting with Hartnell
It’s like they refuse to learn from Luther. You can create unique roles even copy pasting classic character's traits onto a new actor/actress, JUST DONT PRETEND THEYRE THE CLASSIC CHARACTER.
Luther was a good show, and they made an original character, but I remember that show was attacked because he wasn't ethnic enough. I've mentioned before that I love pre diversity obsession BBC and will always jump on any older program.
Fun fact: John Barrowman, who is gay and played Captain Jack Harkness on Doctor Who, auditioned for the role of a gay man on the sitcom Will and Grace.
According to Barrowman, he did not get the role because HE WASN'T GAY ENOUGH.
He was a good character and with Torchwood I just fast forwarded through the gay romance scenes. I never saw Will and Grace and never heard that story but doesn’t surprise me
I remember that. Luther needed to eat more black foods and have more black friends according to higher ups.
it already has a smart black man with strong morals and his wife is a smart pajeet, the bad guys are huwites, I quit after two episodes because I couldn't stand the diversity propaganda but apparently that still wasn't promoting diversity enough
Have you listed your favourite older BBC series? I'd be interested, particularly anything that isn't well known but still torrentable.
I haven’t but I guess I could make some suggestions. I’m Tubi I’m currently watching a show called Hamish Macbeth. 90s show that takes place in a small Scottish village and the lead character is the constable
But no one is really watching the shit on streaming platforms either.
Because no one -- surprise --- wants to watch shit.
