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.
