Yes Gareth, the same BBC that gave us is latest production of Oliver
Twist casting a black girl as Nancy. Ideology over reality every
time.

It wouldn't occur to you that she might have been the best actress at the
audition would it? I saw it and thought she was a brilliant Nancy and don't
see what difference it makes. I don't recall the line in the novel "Bill
Sikes' girlfriend, the poor white girl, Nancy....."

Quite right historicity is not a science. All the black slaves not
exported to Jamaica in time for the new Wilberforce laws earlier that
century would have been absorbed into the mainstream by Victorian
times?

Besides which whoever played it, the real life model would have been
so covered in soot and street grime that it wouldn't have been obvious
except on a BBC production.

In the meantime the lack of scientific talent at the Blue Peter output
end of things wouldn't have got lost entirely.

It's just that the facts the same scientists who brought us news of a
carbon dioxide increase of 70 parts per million also brought us news
of a mid day background level and news of a fall of 400 parts per
million of oxygen molecules (presumably apart from the CO2?) though
from watching either BBC, ITV C4 or 5, you'd still be ignorant.

Even reading the churlish nonentities such as that amoeba: Dawlish,
you would gain little insight.

Those two overlooked vital signs require the introduction of an
inverse law and that could get scientific.

Constant abuse is very tedious, W. Try another tack? Like predicting
the next Earthquake? I know it hurts a little when I ask the
impossible, because of your complete faliure to reply - mainly because
your outcome stats of 12.5% accuracy since April don't do you many
favours!

No Dave it didn't occurr to me that she was the best actress for the
job, not in a million years. Taking your logic a step further, how
about Hugh Grant playing the part of Nelson Mandella, now that would
cause riots amongst the Guardinista's .

As for

"I don't recall the line in the novel "Bill Sikes' girlfriend, the

Silly me I forgot the novel Winston Twista was set against the
backdrop of the Notting Hill Carnival..

Didn't Ben Kingsley play Gandhi? I must have forgotten the ensuing
riots.

Morgan Freeman as God!?? (Bruce Almightly)
Alanis Morissette as God!?? (Dogma)
George Burns as God!?? (Oh God!)
Not to mention...Joe *******i, Dawlish, Weatherlawyer.....and then to top it
all...the months of June/July/August acting as Summer 2008!!??

It's mad, I tell ya, mad...!

Morgan Freeman as God!?? (Bruce Almightly)
Alanis Morissette as God!?? (Dogma)
George Burns as God!?? (Oh God!)

Didn't you know that gods don't exist?

So it doesn't matter who plays it as they are playing something that is
non-existent anyway. No problem methinks.

Agreed about the Summer of 2008, what a load of pretence that was.

I'm of the same opinion, Nick, but the post was in the context of fictional
characters and who played them, was it not? Anyway, on that basis why make a
comment about Summer of 2008 which itself was practically fictituous in the
context of what we hope a summer will be!!! ;-)

(what a way to go off-topic!)

True. I was only trying to be tongue-in-cheek and all that malarkey but
electronic communication etc can be difficult to get the humour/irony etc
across without being misunderstood/misinterpreted. I suppose that's why they
invented emoticons, but I never got used to those.

Aye, off topic!!

The end.

11 dry consecutive days here. No grass or air frost as yet though last night
came close with a grass min of 2.2°C.

I have no problem with Morgan Freeman playing God as he is a fine
actor and God althougfh a fictional character has no known race.
However 19th century London...........come on that's totally non
representitive of a period drama, I see that the black actress martha
jones has been cast in the new BBC production of Little Dorrit. Now as
historical context and accuracy now not being importatnt on certain
occassions, maybe the BBC will take this opporunity to introduce a
homosexual moblie phone saleman into this wonderful Dickens period
peice.
